TODO: * reimplement the config.py / .config mechanism. i'd like for many commands to share very similar argument or argument sets, as well as have some common config options. I'm not sure the best way to do this. * pull out global configuration information from various files, like rt_db, mailer.py, auth.py, and any others. Create a single configuration file from which all others pull. * Find a better location to place and pull the PLK files currently in the pdb directory. Ultimately, these should be stored in a real DB. Until then, they should sit in a location that is accessible from the www scripts, backend scripts, and user utilities. * add a third package for user tools that will interact with the Monitor service. Mostly, I'm guessing this would be queries for the live status nodes and a more reliable 'reboot' and 'reinstall' mechanism than currently availble with PLC. * convert plc and other files to use the new monitorconfig.py rather than auth, or plc.* Lower priority: * Add a more structured, 'automate' library of scripts and means of making batch calls, etc.
