Message queue agent

This is an agent to listen to ActiveMQ server messages.

The library is part of the workflow controller. The main documentation you can find at:

Workflow controller on github

Write tasks

Tasks are simple bash files in a queue folder.

For example:

queues
├── hello_world_1
│   └── startup.sh
├── hello_world_2
│   └── startup.sh

Notice the identical name between the folder name and the queue name in the task element.

###How to set the queues for an agent Place symbolic links in the queues_enabled folder to the folders in the queues folder.

###Types of messages The agent will listen to the message queue for:

message: only one agent will pick up the message and run the task.

topic: all agents will pick up the message and run the task

Example:

In the message folder you see all queues the agent in listening for messages. But the topic folder is empty, so it will ignore topics.
