  $endpoints = [
    # example 'users/13',
    # example 'users/4',
  ]
  $urls = [
    #'https://api.example.com',
    #'https://api.example2.com'
  ]
  # $extra_args = " example: -H 'Authorization: Token token=\"example_token\"' -H 'X_API_EMAIL: [email protected]'"
  $verbose = false
  $seconds = '3'

run the home_wrecker wreck command

$ hitting https://api.example.com/users/13 for 3 seconds
$ hitting https://api.example2.com/users/13 for 3 seconds

TODO:

Find a better way to assign the variables. Globals probably aren't the best. Perhaps a yml file?
