Creating Replication Agreements at the Command Line

If anyone has successfully set up replication end-to-end (starting with 
configuring the replicas and on to creating and enabling a replication 
agreement) from the command line as opposed to using the GUI console, 
I'd appreciate seeing any notes they may have on the subject. While the 
Red Hat doc does a terrific job of covering replication (someone should 
get a medal for the troubleshooting section ...), there's no discussion 
there on how to administer this from the command line. For reliability 
and efficiency reasons I've been doing more and more of my directory 
management using command line tools, and would like to extend this into 
replication management. Thanks in advance.
