That's impossible....

True, but a few wrapper scripts with simple options might make this a
good choice.

Yes, but we have 450 client definitions, when you use nsradmin in visual
mode, you need to press the "next" button 400 times perhaps.  It isn't
even alphabetically.

The problem is that the people behind the firewall aren't really legato
specialists.  They just follow some simple procedure to do some simple
admin work.  It's not really interesting to learn them use commands with
a lot of options.  Try to teach the syntax of the nsradmin command
prompt to someone who will only use it once in 2 weeks.  That's
impossible....
