Description

There's a lot of potential in the management API that can't be exposed in traffic_line due to it's poor command-line interface. Replace this with a new tool, traffic_ctl, which uses a subcommand-oriented interface to expose more features in a more regular way.

For example:

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ sudo /opt/ats/bin/traffic_ctl
Usage: traffic_ctl [OPTIONS] CMD [ARGS ...]

Subcommands:
    alarm           Manipulate alarms
    cluster         Stop, restart and examine the cluster
    config          Manipulate configuration records
    metric          Manipulate performance metrics
    server          Stop, restart and examine the server
    storage         Manipulate cache storage

Options:
  switch__________________type__default___description
      --debug             on    false     Enable debugging output
  -h, --help                              Print usage information
  -V, --version                           Print version string
