+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #723078 +++ +++ 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.
This bug is to track the completion of the Shell, which was started in the 0.6 release. The list of specific things that need to be completed for the enhancement are on the wiki here: https://github.com/matahari/matahari/wiki/Matahari-Shell * Asynchronous property/statistic reads * CLI option parsing * Scripting * Handle spaces in arguments surrounded by "", [] &c. * Config file handling * Logging * Saved history * Event notifications * Special-case RPC plugins * Paged output * ? Help * Named arguments to methods * Autogenerate documentation
