GrowlAMQP

Display AMQP messages in growl.

The built in binary, 'growlamqp', will run out-of-the-box to report messages with non-binary data. It looks like this:

$ growlamqp -e amq.direct -k my.key.name
$

If your data requires post-processing, or you only want to see some data, write a wrapper script. Return whatever you want and growl will print it. Return nil and it won't print it.

# queuemon
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'growlamqp'
require 'bert'

GrowlAMQP.monitor! do | msg |
  BERT.decode(msg)
end

The file 'queuemon' is now a workable executable, complete with config files, command line options, and more. Enjoy.
