If you want this NM, gnome-power-manager and other GFX tools need to grow
a CLI/daemon personality ASAP.
You can do this for any service that exposes a dbus interface. Nothing
stops your from using dbus-send on the CLI, or whipping up your own
scripts, to do this Right Now. What you imply is missing is either 1) a
set of tools like ifconfig/ip/ifup/ifdown/etc that all perform discrete
functions in isolation of each other, or 2) a CLI client with an
interface like mysql or pgsql.
