Easy way to open bunches of instances of the same path on multiple sites

dopen.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby 

# notes at the bottom

require "rubygems"
require "appscript"
require "yaml"
include Appscript

browser = app("Safari") # could be "Google Chrome" or "Firefox," too

config_file = File.open(File.expand_path('~') + "/etc/smt_config.yml")
config = YAML.load(config_file)
sites = config["sites"]
paths = config["drupal_paths"]

function = ARGV[0]
qual = ARGV[1]

unless paths.has_key?(function) 
  puts "Illegal option. Choices: #{paths.map { |f| f[0] += " "}}"
  exit
else
  fn = paths[function]
end

sites.each do |s|

    unless qual == "-s"
      url = s[1]['url']
    else
      url = "staging.#{s[1]['url']}"
    end

    browser.open_location("http://#{url}#{fn}")
end

browser.activate

This is for dealing with multiple sites that have individual configuration pages by opening each page in a tab in a browser. One nice thing about the AppleScript dictionaries for Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome: They all take `open location`, and they all open new locations in a new tab.

No fancy option parsing:

ARGV[0] = the configuration path you want to open

ARGV[1] = a "-s" switch that opens the staging versions of the domains instead of the production version by tacking "staging." onto the front of the domain to be opened.

The site list and the available configuration pages come from the "smt_config.yml" file in ~/etc:

The site list looks like this:

sites:

    SpumCo Incorporated:
        url: spumco.com
        abbrev: sco

    SuperSite LLC:
        url: supersitellc.com
        abbrev: ssl
      
The pages list looks like this:

drupal_paths: 

    permissions: /admin/user/permissions
    cache: /admin/settings/performance/default
    status: /admin/reports/status
    search: /admin/settings/apachesolr/settings
    unpubs: /reports/fixit/auto-unpublished
    mollom: /admin/settings/mollom
    sitemaps: /admin/settings/xmlsitemap/settings
