No, I didn't, and I don't think it would work: As far as I understand
they are Python scripts which use Python's graphical abilities (GTK+ I
think) and are not intended to offer CLI. On *Purpose*! There has been
quite some discussion about this back when redhat-config-* were
introduced (RHL 7.* era), but Red Hat refused to consider CLI tools. I
don't remember their rationale, sorry.
