Tech and Tips

I have been looking for a nice little ActiveMQ CLI utility in order to push/consume messages to/from ActiveMQ via the standard OpenWire protocol for quite a while now and I finally found it!

Thanks for the glorious developer behind this github project :)

ActiveMQ Command-line utility

Make sure you have a look at all the parameters on the main github page of the project (https://github.com/fmtn/a) and use the jar with dependencies if you don't have maven installed.

Here is a little bash script you can use so make things simpler:

#!/bin/sh
#
# blog: http://nordlander.co/activemq-command-line-utility-a/
# github: https://github.com/fmtn/a
#
# Parameters examples:
# -U admin -P admin -p "toto" q_fake
# -U admin -P admin -c 9 -p "toto" q_fake
# -U admin -P admin -o /tmp/msgs/fakemsg -c 9 -g q_fake
# -U admin -P admin -p @/tmp/msgs/fakemsg-no4 q_fake
#
java -jar ~/bin/a-1.3.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar "$@"

Now if you have saved the script above under the file called amq_client.sh, you can use it like this:
$ ./amq_client.sh -U admin -P admin -p "toto" q_fake
