Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-434:
-----------------------------------------

+1 looks good! (we should probably open a jira to start creating tests for the shell.)

> it would be very useful if the java shell showed the current connection status as part of the command prompt.
> this shows itself in particular for the following use case:
> I attempted to connect a java shell to a remote cluster that was unavailable, when I run the first command "ls /" on
> the cluster the shell hangs. It would be nice if the shell indicated connection status in the prompt and make it more
> clear that the shell is currently not connected. (it was hard to see the "attempting to connect" console message as
> it was lost in with the other messaes...)
