TODO

1. How to support SSH server in simple?

2. How to enable stopping the simple dist? ;) Ctrl-D does work, usual commands don't:

   karaf@root()> exit
   karaf@root()> logout      
   Command not found: logout  
   karaf@root()> system:shutdown
   Command not found: system:shutdown
   

3. How to add --help in simple?

   karaf@root()> test:test --help
   karaf@root()> help test:test
