Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-2541:
-------------------------------------------
Ah, I'm fine with either. Just `fooctl` is pretty common pattern for service
control utilities: ejabberdctl, prosodyctl, rabbitmqctl etc. As about your
'plug-n-pipe' idea - sounds good.

> couchdbctl is CouchDB control service utility that aims to help users manage
> and inspect their CouchDB instance, keeping it well and health.
> Few ideas what it may do:
> - register users with easy:
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl users add Jan
> Password:
> {code}
> hides routines to create /_users/org.couchdb.users:Jan document with all
> required fields;
> - run service operations:
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl db compact
> {code}
> - connect to node and provide shell:
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl attach
> {code}
> - run security audit as like as
> [audit-couchdb|https://github.com/iriscouch/audit_couchdb] or
> [couchdb-auditor|https://github.com/kxepal/python-couchdb-auditor] does;
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl audit
> {code}
> - see erltop;
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl top
> {code}
> - monitor stats and active tasks in realtime;
> - run replications with single command without worry about JSON and required
> fields:
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl replicate foo http://example.com/bar --continuous --create-target
> {code}
> - check cluster health, add/remove nodes to it;
> - explain errors in logs:
> {code}
> $ couchdbctl errors
> [error] [<0.125.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>,
> {<0.125.0>,crash_report,
> [[{initial_call,{couch_file,init,['Argument__1']}},
> {pid,<0.125.0>},
> {registered_name,[]},
> {error_info,
> {exit,
> {{badmatch,{error,eacces}},
> [{couch_file,init,1,
> ...
> eacess error - insufficient or invalid permissions, please verify that
> couchdb user has all r permissions to the following paths:
> /var/lib/couchdb - read+write
> /var/log/couchdb - read+write
> /etc/couchdb - read+write
> /usr/lib64/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-2.0.0/priv/lib - read
> {code}
> And so on and so forth. It's easy to find how this utility may improve users
> experience with CouchDB by simplifying common maintaining routes.
