Code:
> ./bitcoind getbalance
> ./litecoind getbalance
> ./dogecoind getbalance
All of those should do the same thing. Just make sure they're using different ports.

Yep. The API used to interact with bitcoind via RPC will also work with dogecoind, litecoind, any fork of Bitcoin (or fork of a fork of BTC). Incompatible APIs come from coins that aren't based on Bitcoin.
All of those should do the same thing. Just make sure they're using different ports.

*BUMP*
I'm looking for some input about which altcoins are the easiest to integrate with a bitcoind enabled website. I have a website that is on a VPS running bitcoind and PHP polls bitcoind via RPC. I've been looking into altcoins, like dogecoin and litecoin and notice they have their own daemons like dogecoind.
Excuse my ignorance, but is it exactly the same as running bitcoind? Do I just install dogecoind, set it up with RPC on a different port and then all of my application commands are identical? Or is there more to it than that?
Appreciate input and advice, especially any caveats to watch out for when going through this sort of process!
