RE: Headless version for routers...

["Hooker, Jonathan" <Jonathan Hooker garmin com>]

At my company we have had a similar question to what Ed is asking. Although it stays running in the background, you don't have full control over the software without manually editing config files and restarting NM and even then it can be flaky. NM does not truly have a CLI. This being the case, I would also pose the question, are there any plans to go down the route of providing a CLI that would act as a front-end interface to the already running back-end daemon?

Sorry but... isn't that already the case? I am currently using version
0.7.1. Once I have configured some system connections, the headless NM
daemon stays perfectly alive and kicking even after shutting down X.
