Silly ruby script to replicate CouchDB databases

replicate.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'optparse'
require 'rubygems'
require 'json'

options = {}
data = {}

optparse = OptionParser.new do |opts|
  # Banner that displays at top of help screen
  opts.banner = "Usage: replicate [options] source target"
  
  # Define the options and what they do
  options[:verbose] = false
  opts.on('-v', '--verbose', 'Output response from CouchDB') do
    options[:verbose] = true
  end
  
  options[:continuous] = false
  opts.on('-c', '--continuous', 'Continuous replication') do
    data[:continuous] = true
  end
  
  opts.on('-h', '--help', 'Display this screen') do
    puts opts
    exit
  end

end

# Parse the command line arguments
# parse! removes the options
optparse.parse!

# Handle the ARGVs
data[:source] = ARGV[0]
data[:target] = ARGV[1]

# Need to figure out how to handle the result. Even if CouchDB returns {"ok":true}
# replication can still fail.
