Description Perry Myers 2011-07-19 00:40:56 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #723077 +++

Description of problem:
To use matahari agents/apis you need to presently either:
* Write your own QMFv2 Console
* Use qmf-tool

It would be more user friendly if we developed a shell tool (mataharish or mhsh) that provides easily scriptable and interactive access to the mh APIs and agents available on the QMF bus.

This shell could be written utilizing the python QMFv2 console classes.  While we want the agents to be as low level as we can (C++ impementations on C libraries mostly), writing the shell in python would be quicker and easier to extend dynamically.
