Interactive CLI

[emiltin]

For some testing purposes, it might be useful to have an interactive CLI, where you can send commands, see reponses, acticate alarms, etc.

Being interactive, it would be a bit similar to the RSMP simulator (which is a GUI application for Windows). In that sense you could argue that it would not add that much new value. However, doing it on the command-line does have some use-case, and importantly, it would work on Mac and Linux.

Based on disussion in #42.

Some ideas for how an interactive CLI might work:

% rmsp site --type tlc --config config/my_tlc.yaml -i
Starting site RN+SI0001.

> help
Commands:
  supervisors              # show supervisors
  alarm                    # trigger alarms
  dl                       # work with detector logics
  sg                       # work with signal groups

> supervisors
127.0.0.1          connected

> dl
DL1           0
DL2           0

> dl set DL1 1
OK

Honestly, would be quite a lot to design and implement.

Note that a "power user" mode of this is already avaiable: You can start an interctive Ruby session with the ìrb`command, then use the classes provided by the rsmp gem to interact with sites, supervisors, components, etc. But it requires that you know how to use the Ruby language.
