A simple tool to publish messages to RabbitMQ from the command line.

# Use one message per line
echo '{"foo": "bar-1"}' >> file.txt
echo '{"foo": "bar-2"}' >> file.txt
echo '{"foo": "bar-3"}' >> file.txt

amqp-publish --uri="amqp://admin:password@localhost:5672/" --exchange="foo" --routing-key="bar" --input-file="file.txt"
