A simple helper to assist with writing MCollective actions in PHP. Given an action as below:
action "echo" do validate :message, String implemented_by "/tmp/echo.php" endThe following PHP script will implement the echo action externally replying with _message_ and _timestamp_
<?php require("mcollective_action.php"); $mc = new MCollectiveAction(); $mc->message = $mc->data["message"]; $mc->timestamp = strftime("%c"); $mc->info("some text to info log on the server"); ?>Calling it with _mco rpc_ results in:
$ mco rpc test echo message="hello world" Determining the amount of hosts matching filter for 2 seconds .... 1 * [ ============================================================> ] 1 / 1 nephilim.ml.org : OK {:message=>"hello world", :time=>"Tue Mar 15 19:20:53 +0000 2011"}
