Can you provide some examples where the provided interfaces are not
sufficient? Do you interact with the web ui or with the json-rpc interface?

Maybe we can implement some more actions in the rpc. The scope of the
rpc-api will remain limited of course, if we implement direct command
execution, we'd just end up with a less secure ssh look-alike :)

But stuff like traceroute, ping, etc. can be implemented for sure, also
in a way that provides machine-readable output.
