Scripts

Script " jldexec "

 jldexec [-p polling_interval] [-j] [-n] topic python_module_name

 This script creates a private SQS queue to which it subscribes to the specified SNS topic.
 The SQS queue is polled at polling_interval (seconds).
 Optionally with the '-j' switch, the received JSON object can be echoed to stdout.
 With the '-n' option, one can specify the maximum number of messages that can be processed at each interval.
 Whenever a message is received on the private SQS queue, the specified python_module_name's "run" callable will be called:

 python_module.run(private_queue_name, topic_name, received_JSON_message)

 Script " jlds3notify "

 jlds3notify [ -a ] [ -j ] [-p polling_interval] [-r prefix] bucket_name module_name

 This script monitors a specific S3 bucket along with a prefix.
 Changes to the bucket/prefix is reported through the "run" function of the specified python module.
 The '-a' option is for "always call the run function" even if there are no changes.
 The '-j' option is for echoing the generated JSON object to stdout.

 python_module.run(bucket_name, prefix, keys={ }, changes=[ ])

 Where 'keys' is a dictionary { S3 object name : boto.s3.Key } pairs.
 Where 'changes' is a list of S3 object name which changed between polling intervals.

 Script " jldtxsqs "

 jldtxsqs [-f] [-w] queue_name

 This script sends the received JSON string objects from stdin to an SQS queue at the same time as echoing to stdout.
 The ' -f ' is useful for flushing the queue at startup.
 Use '-w' to receive arbitrary strings.

 Script " jldrxsqs "

 jldrxsqs [-f] [-w] [-p polling interval] [-n batch_size] queue_name

 This script receives a string/JSON objects from an SQS queue and echoes them to stdout.
 The ' -f ' is useful for flushing the queue at startup.
 Use '-w' to receive arbitrary strings.
