Mister CLI: A multi-router network command-line interface

Mr. CLI presents a command-line interface similar to network equipment operators are familiar with, giving them access to all of the equipment known by Notch Agents (see http://www.enemesco.net/notch/index.html)

When a command is executed, the individual commands are submitted to all targetted devices in parallel, making for a powerful diagnostic tool for planned events as well as diagnosis during break fix.

It can be used in both command-line mode:

$ mrcli localhost:8080 -t "^[abc].*" -c "sh int desc | i PO"
ar1.mel:
PO5/0                  admin down     down
PO6/0                  admin down     down

cr1.mel:
PO3/0                  up             up
PO4/0                  admin down     down
PO5/0                  admin down     down
PO6/0                  admin down     down

..and interactive mode:

$ mrcli localhost:8080
