Publish/unpublish links in teasers

Hi,

Can anyone please help with this simple snippet?

I would like to create an easy-to-use "Publish" (or Un-publish) links in teaser links, visible to those who have the correct permissions of course. Would be great if changing the status to Published (and vise-versa) would take place through some ajax without leaving the screen (like Flag module flags content). I remember that the old Akismet module had these publish/unpublish links appearing in teasers.

This would save a whole load of time to the editors who need to Edit the node, scroll down, find the "published" checkbox, uncheck that and save the content -- and repeat that over-and-over again for many other nodes.

Can anyone please help? or maybe you know of any module that does this?

Thank you.
