RightScale Terminator

A Ruby library that parses given RightScale accounts and terminates/destroys/disables resources depending on given parameters. It's built on the 'rest_connection' gem that support RightScale API 0.1, 1.0, 1.5. This gem will likely be updated to depend on right_api_client when unified clusters are standard.
