 I like ceph-manage or something like that, however that's probably too close to ceph-mgr which could get very confusing.

 Looking at thesaurus.com for manage, there are some other words that could be interesting (there is a bunch so I'll only name a few):

  - administer (so adm is a good candidate, which I know is already on the list)
  - conduct
  - govern
  - handle
  - maintain
  - operate
  - oversee
  - run
  - supervise
  - command
  - designate
  - execute
  - instruct
  - steer

 During CDM on Wednesday I suggested that ceph-daemon should probably be
 renamed before octopus (and before the name sticks).  In speech "ceph
 daemon" is confusing, and the name doesn't really reflect what it
 is:

 a user-facing tool
  - to bootstrap a new cluster,
  - launch a (containerized) shell,
  - enter an existing daemon container,
  - tail a daemon's log, or
  - adopt a daemon deployed with a legacy tool (ceph-deploy, ceph-ansible,
    etc) into a ceph-daemon style container
  - remove all trace of a cluster from the localhost,

 and an internal tool used by ssh-orch to
  - deploy or remove a container running a ceph daemon
  - start, stop, or update an existing container
  - run ceph-volume (to gather device inventory, create osds, zap, etc.)
  - gather a host inventory of services (containers)

 The original tool was more like "ceph daemon tool" but it was shortened to
 ceph-daemon at the start.

 We voted on some alternatives here:

         https://pad.ceph.com/p/ceph-daemon-tool

 but the winner is currently 'cephctl' with is IMO a non-starteer.
 Usually 'ctl' utilities are for interacting with running systems/daemons
 via some runtime API--that's basically what the 'ceph' CLI utility is.
 ceph-daemon is more akin to kubeadm or ceph-deploy or something like
 that.

 So... I shortened/pruned the list again.  Please weigh in.  And if you
 have a bright idea for a better name, feel free to add it.

 Thanks!
