tentacle is pretty awesome!
But just to play devil's advocate, we opensource devs do have a nack for
picking cool names, but make it hard for other users to understand what the
tool does. Conceptually, I can see it from what Lenz says. But would it
make sense to a normal sysadmin?
Don't get me wrong, I like it and think it's fun, just want to make sure
it's thought about now and not after we do a rename and release.

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

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!
