A systems integration framework, built to bring the benefits of configuration management to your entire infrastructure.

Chef::Knife::Ssh#read_line

Present the prompt and read a single line from the console. It also
detects ^D and returns "exit" in that case. Adds the input to the
history, unless the input is empty. Loops repeatedly until a non-empty
line is input.
