How to run bpipe agent

[desnar]

Hi,
I read the doc about JMS Integration in bpipe (http://docs.bpipe.org/Guides/JMS/), and it said agent will run permanently in background and listen to the queue. But no more information about how to start agent.
I use the send command to send the command and these messages are shown in ActiveMQ webpage. But I'm not sure how to run the agent to get theses messages. I tried to run an inifinite loop groovy script with an agent config in same dir, but it seems not work.

Thanks for mentioning that - it's definitely an oversight that it isn't documented!

To run the agent, you use a command like so:

bpipe agent

Especially while testing I recommend giving it the -v and -n 1 arguments to turn on verbose mode (more logging) and limit the number of simultaneous messages it will process to one at a time. Otherwise you can accidentally run a huge number of pipelines if something has filled up the queue in advance.

For example

bpipe agent -v -n 1

Hope this helps and thanks for mentioning it.
