Summary

While relatively simple, the CLI developed here is powerful, extensible, and highly modular. The CLI is worth careful attention, as it constitutes a central component of the monitor. The CLI is the big hook on which almost everything else in the monitor hangs . It is the interface to debugging commands. It is the executive that launches applications. It is the interpreter that processes configuration scripts.

Despite this critical and central role, the CLI remains highly configurable. You can configure a particular implementation with as many or as few of the advanced features as you like.
