Calling JSON commands to armoryd I know with bitcoind, you can easily start the daemon and call some commands.

But with armoryd, I start it up with a wallet argument. 

What are some examples of using the JSON-RPC to call a method for it?

For example, with bitcoind I can type in my shell:

bitcoind listaccounts


Is there a easy way to get my armoryd daemon to do the same?
In your install directory, you should have armoryd.py.  Once you run

python armoryd.py 


then you have a daemon.  Now you can run 

python armoryd.py help


to get a list of commands like this (which can then be run with python armoryd.py &lt;command&gt;):
