Injecting Commands to a Standalone Akka System via the Command Line

[Bruce]

Hi,

I have an Akka system running in standalone mode.  I'd like to be able to inject commands to it via the command line, and I'm wondering what the fastest / simplest way to do this is.  Even though it would be on the same server, would I create some kind of utility that uses remoting since it would be running in a separate VM?  Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Easiest way is probably to start your application in SBTs console, and then you can do whatever at runtime:

sbt console

> val as = ActorSystem(...)

... time passes ...

> as.actorFor(...) ! "Dance puppet! DANCE!"

 

A more clean option is probably: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7400784/akka-actors-get-messages-from-stdin

Thanks,
Bruce
