The language in this ticket suggests a helper function in the mongo shell, but that seems no longer applicable as we've deprecated that for users to use. So, the question is whether this should be something in mongosh, or Ops Manager/Cloud Manager instead. These kind of much longer running tasks are not really great as single commands: you wouldn't want to start all over again just because a network connection drops, or similar. In case of many nodes, say a large sharded cluster, you might want to schedule multiple jobs concurrently, and just connecting to all nodes individually would be hard to use.
