Command Line Reference

From the command line, you can do everything you can do with the StormMQ REST APIs. The command line programs are intended to:-

  • standalone as a toolbox in their own right
  • demonstrate how the REST APIs are used
  • act as a point of integration into a more complex systems

To use the programs, you'll need to Sign Up, and then choose a suitable download. You'll also need magic secret key file handy we sent you when you activated your account.

Kinds of Command Line Programs

The command line programs consist of two kinds:-

  • those designed to be used directly, as tools, and
  • those designed to support more complex tools: utilities

Location of Programs

All the programs are in usr/bin and should work without needing to be on the path. If you installed the Ubuntu package, this is /usr/bin. Some of the programs depend on usr/lib/stormmq-client or usr/share/doc/stormmq-client. If you use the tarball client, keep all the folders under usr together.
