7 validate :message, String
9 implemented_by "/tmp/echo.py"

14 replying with _message_ and _timestamp_
21 mc = mcollectiveah.MCollectiveAction()
22 mc.reply['message'] = mc.request['message']
23 mc.reply['timestamp'] = time.strftime("%c")
24 mc.reply['info'] = "some text to info log in the server"
27 Calling it with _mco rpc_ results in:
30 $ mco rpc test echo message="hello world"
31 Determining the amount of hosts matching filter for 2 seconds .... 1
33 * [ ============================================================> ] 1 / 1
37 {:message=>"hello world", :time=>"Tue Mar 15 19:20:53 +0000 2011"}
