I'd say that's an excellent idea, especially when doing interactive maintenance or developement work. However, I wouldn't want to lose the ability to use a "normal", non-interactive command line tool like we have at the moment. It should be possible to automate tasks from a script, eg, stopping, backing up and starting Xindice using cron.
Some sort of "CLI framework" could probably be put together easily so you only have to write a command's implementation once, and it gets picked up automatically by both the interactive and non-interactive tools.
