Bunnyq aims to be a RabbitMQ administration and testing/development swiss army knife. It allows you to do a large (and growing) number of tasks that are supported by RabbitMQ's RESTful HTTP Management API. To get a list of current tasks that are supported, run '?' from within the shell. Here's the output at time of writing (Feb. 2012):
guest@localhost: ?
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
create_binding delete_exchange get_status list_vhosts xlist
create_exchange delete_queue list_queue_bindings purge_queue
create_queue dump_message list_users send_message
Undocumented commands:
======================
EOF connect exit help qlist- It's easy to use and works on any RabbitMQ server running the HTTP Management API.
- Provides an interactive shell to issue commands to the server.
- Optional 'one-shot' mode: you don't have to launch a full-blown shell if you just want to send one command to a host.
- Optional config file makes it easy to deal with managing a lot of servers without getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Really easy to extend to add new commands.
- If readline is available, command history and completion should work. On my test machine (a mac running Lion), history and completion both work.
- argparse (unless you're using Python >=2.7. Get a backported argparse for Python <=2.6 at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse)
- pyrabbit (I wrote this too: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrabbit)
- PyYaml (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyYAML)
$ sudo pip install bunnyqInstallation puts a command called 'bunnyq' in your path, so running 'bunnyq' at a command line should get you where you want to go. For help run 'bunnyq --help', and for help with commands within the bunnyq shell, type '?' in the bunnyq shell.
