That makes sense to me, although its slightly different from traditional admin console type apps in that a domain may also be quite tiny with multiple domains in a single runtime so how about having it work as just described but also support changing and listing domains within the Shell and have the prompt identify the current domain. Eg: shell <uri:myDomain?configParams...> myDomain> (all the commands are within the domain myDomain) and add commands such as "domains" and "domain [<domainName>]" that enable querying and switching domains. ...ant
