Key Features

• Interactive mode activated using the -i flag.
• Provides a guided interface for managing Chronicles, Stories, and Events.
• Outputs detailed configuration and logging information for troubleshooting and monitoring.

Supported Commands

-c <chronicle_name>         # Create a Chronicle
-a -s <chronicle_name> <story_name>  # Acquire a Story in a Chronicle

Example Usage

To run the Interactive Client Admin, execute the following command:

client_admin -i

Once launched, the tool will display the list of available commands. You can then enter commands interactively, such as:

-c my_chronicle
-a -s my_chronicle my_story
-w "This is a test event"
-q -s my_chronicle my_story
-d -s my_chronicle my_story

The interactive mode is particularly useful for users who are new to ChronoLog or for debugging and monitoring a live system. Error messages and status outputs are displayed after each command to ensure clear feedback.
