Ok... that sounds like an objective distinction. Maybe it's just the output 
that I get as a result of:

Action: Command
Command: foo

that's causing problems.

eg:
Action: Command
Command: sip show subscriptions

I don't know why every CLI command doesn't have a corresponding action.
I won't be adding any new manager commands, as I am not a C programmer.
