Potential new features ideas

[camba1]

Howdy!
I have a few potential small enhancements ideas that I think would be welcome when developing with Micro. I got these ideas from my time building a sample app using Micro. Let me know what you think and wether this functionality is already available and I just missed it..

• Single command to start server and login:
  micro server --username= --password=
• Load environment variables from a file when starting a service
  micro run --env-from-file=
• Load config from file
  micro config set --from-file
• Check all the logs from all services in one command
  micro logs -f --all
• Clear logs for one or more services
  micro logs delete
  micro logs delete all
• Set an alias from micro logs to micro log (can't tell you how many times I type micro log by mistake)
• Add a way to kill all/multiple services
  micro kill --all
  micro kill service1,service2....
• A way to start and stop micro server on the background when developing locally (although this can be done if running using the docker image)
• Show status when starting a service via micro run: Currently micro run returns before the service is registered and ready to go. It would be good to have an option to wait. This may be harder to do that the other ideas above.

This is a good question and I welcome it. I'll add to that and ask anyone else. Top 10 requested features or fixes. If we can identify what these are and get them prioritised I think it's going to help a lot. I know a lot of people find the transition from v2 to v3 tough but we also have to push through because the swiss army approach to platform isn't great, if people want to pick up and adopt separate tools they need to go elsewhere, micro is going to be a singular system for cloud services development.
