Dominik,

Its as straightforward as you might think. Here is a fragment of a bash
script that I use as part of my application. This function issues the
subscribe set command to bring a new subscribing node into the system
and get its replication from a particular provider node. In this
application there is only one set (set 1) but you could extend the
principle to cover multiple sets.

## Subscribe
subscribe(){
    provider=$1
    subscriber=$2
    if test ${provider} -eq ${subscriber};then
	return
    fi
    slonik <<EOF
include <$conf_file>;
echo 'Subscribing ${subscriber} to ${provider}';
subscribe set
(id=1,provider=$provider,receiver=$subscriber,forward=yes);
echo 'Done';
EOF
}
