I wanted as much as possible in my services to go through the vocabulary and I fully embraced the client to server API.

But there are elements of a web application that require custom functionality no matter what, say changing a password. So for those I just added the capability of running commands through ssh.

In interactive mode you get a TUI to see your actor and its collections, and non-interactively you can execute the said commands.

What I did was to extract the CLI commands available to my server and allow execution through that interface.
