1. A system, comprising:

one or more hardware processors with associated memory that implement an endpoint command invocation system (“ECIS”), configured to:

receive an invocation of a command from a client, wherein the invocation indicates a plurality of command recipients;

determine whether individual ones of the command recipients are online or offline;

for a first command recipient that is online, send the command to the first command recipient using an established connection to the first command recipient; and

for a second command recipient that is offline, store the command in a dispatch queue for the second command recipient, wherein the stored command is provided to the second command recipient when requested by the second command recipient.
