RabbitMQ Server The RabbitMQ Team <info@rabbitmq.com> rabbitmq-service.bat RabbitMQ Server rabbitmq-service.bat manage RabbitMQ AMQP service rabbitmq-service.bat command RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker. Running rabbitmq-service allows the RabbitMQ broker to be run as a service on NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista® environments. The RabbitMQ broker service can be started and stopped using the Windows® services applet. By default the service will run in the authentication context of the local system account. It is therefore necessary to synchronise Erlang cookies between the local system account (typically C:\WINDOWS\.erlang.cookie and the account that will be used to run rabbitmqctl. help Display usage information. install Install the service. The service will not be started. Subsequent invocations will update the service parameters if relevant environment variables were modified. remove Remove the service. If the service is running then it will automatically be stopped before being removed. No files will be deleted as a consequence and rabbitmq-server will remain operable. start Start the service. The service must have been correctly installed beforehand. stop Stop the service. The service must be running for this command to have any effect. disable Disable the service. This is the equivalent of setting the startup type to Disabled using the service control panel. enable Enable the service. This is the equivalent of setting the startup type to Automatic using the service control panel. RABBITMQ_SERVICENAME Defaults to RabbitMQ. RABBITMQ_BASE Defaults to the application data directory of the current user. This is the location of log and database directories. RABBITMQ_NODENAME Defaults to rabbit. This can be useful if you want to run more than one node per machine - RABBITMQ_NODENAME should be unique per erlang-node-and-machine combination. See the clustering on a single machine guide for details. RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS By default RabbitMQ will bind to all interfaces, on IPv4 and IPv6 if available. Set this if you only want to bind to one network interface or address family. RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT Defaults to 5672. ERLANG_SERVICE_MANAGER_PATH Defaults to C:\Program Files\erl5.5.5\erts-5.5.5\bin (or C:\Program Files (x86)\erl5.5.5\erts-5.5.5\bin for 64-bit environments). This is the installation location of the Erlang service manager. RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG Set this varable to new or reuse to have the console output from the server redirected to a file named SERVICENAME.debug in the application data directory of the user that installed the service. Under Vista this will be C:\Users\AppData\username\SERVICENAME. Under previous versions of Windows this will be C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\SERVICENAME. If RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG is set to new then a new file will be created each time the service starts. If RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG is set to reuse then the file will be overwritten each time the service starts. The default behaviour when RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG is not set or set to a value other than new or reuse is to discard the server output.
