The latest CloudMonkey 5.3.0 returns non-zero exit code when a CloudStack API 
fails.

It would be great to discuss if there are any specific error code it should 
return based on the failed API, as I don’t know which ones to use. If I know 
that, I should be able to easily implement it.

On shell (not as interpreter) it prints without any color and outputs errors on 
stderr. Errors are more verbose now that include any cs error code and HTTP 
error code with the returned json. Any discussions on this on what/how we can 
improve this or any patch contributions would be great.

By config, do you mean global settings? I want to keep the tool simply but I’m 
thinking of refactoring CloudMonkey’s code so people can write plugins for it 
that could control it’s behaviour, color/themes, output styles etc.
