So if I wanted a c++ script to run on the bmc whenever I desired, how exactly would I go about implementing it as a module to run? Kind of like the Phosphor state manager module that the Hello World guide starts on, specifically, what steps would I need to take or what resources should I look into for creating my own module that will run when a specific command is sent, like the systemctl start phosphor.

You can do that.
The disk is rather small by default.
If you are using VirtualBox, you may be able to use the vboxfs file system to
mount the host. That might require adding modules to the kernel.

Maybe. What server do you have?
