Introduction
Shh... It's okay - everything is going to be alright. status is here to make all of your nightmares go away.
status provides a flexible JSON interface on top of any commands/tasks/sensors/signals/hardware/etc you want to automate. status operations can be run locally (via the CLI) or remotely (via the REST server).

Writing Plugins
Let's write a plugin called "coolkern" that returns the kernel version
{exec} = require "child_process"
coolkern =
meta:
name: "coolkern"
author: "YOU"
version: "0.0.1"
version: ->
exec "uname -r", (err, stdout) =>
@done stdout
Simple enough, right? Now add it to status
status = require 'status'
status.load coolkern
Finished! Now you can test it out
$ status kernel version
{"version":"3.3.7-1-ARCH"}
