VERSION
version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
mqtt2job --mqtt_server mqtt.example.com --base_topic my/topic --job_dir /appsDESCRIPTION
Subscribes to the my/topic/job mqtt topic and upon receiving a correctly formatted json message will fork and run the requested job in a wrapper script providing it is present and executable in the job_dir directory.
This wrapper will generate two child mqtt messages under the base topic, at my/topic/status. Message one is sent when the job is initiated. The second is sent when the job has completed (or timed out). This second message will also include any output from the job amongst various other metadata (e.g. execution datetime, duration, timeout condition, etc.)
