 Description   

The documentation states that the mongo shell is a good option for administrative scripting. For example:

However, 10gen support staff have subsequently indicated to us that the shell is not actually designed for this, at least not in production. The docs should be much clearer about this. And since much of the documentation is written in terms of the shell, if those techniques aren't appropriate for production, there should be cross references to the documentation for whatever corresponding API is recommended and supported for production administration.

Closing for now, I think the differently specified project in DOCS-1494 will help clarify this issue.

The 'mongo' shell is suitable for performing simple administrative tasks. However, more complex tasks really do need to be done in a different language, and the docs should be clearer about this.
