title: Can we check the queue depth using a scripting language?
body: <p>Is it feasible to check queue depth(MQ) using any scripts? [No restrictions on the language]. The plan is to look at non-Java solutions.</p>
  
  <p>I do understand that it is achievable in Java using MQQueueManager but that would need the usage of client API. Hence checking for any alternate options or better practices.</p>
  
  <p>InquireQueue at <a href="http://www.capitalware.biz/mq_code_perl_python.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.capitalware.biz/mq_code_perl_python.html</a> looks similar[but looks a bit outdated]</p>
