RABBITMQ-SERVICE.BAT(8)     System Manager's Manual    RABBITMQ-SERVICE.BAT(8)

NAME
     rabbitmq-service.bat – tool for managing RabbitMQ Windows service

SYNOPSIS
     rabbitmq-service.bat [command]

DESCRIPTION
     RabbitMQ is an open source multi-protocol messaging broker.

     Running rabbitmq-service.bat allows the RabbitMQ broker to be run as a
     service in Windows® environments.  The RabbitMQ broker service can be
     started and stopped using the Windows® services panel.

     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(8).

COMMANDS
     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(8) 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.

ENVIRONMENT
     RABBITMQ_SERVICENAME
             Defaults to RabbitMQ.

     RABBITMQ_BASE
             Note: Windows only. Defaults to the application data directory of
             the current user. This is the location of log and database
             directories.

     RABBITMQ_NODENAME
             Defaults to "rabbit@".  followed by the computed hostname.  Can
             be used to run multiple nodes on the same host.  Every node in a
             cluster must have a unique RABBITMQ_NODENAME To learn more, see
             the RabbitMQ Clustering guide:
             https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/clustering

     RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
             By default RabbitMQ will bind to all IPv6 and IPv4 interfaces
             available.  This variable limits the node to one network
             interface or address family.  To learn more, see the RabbitMQ
             Networking guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/networking

     RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
             AMQP 0-9-1 and AMQP 1.0 port. Defaults to 5672.  To learn more,
             see the RabbitMQ Networking guide:
             https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/networking

     ERLANG_SERVICE_MANAGER_PATH
             Defaults to C:\Program_Files\erl{version}\erts-{version}\bin (or
             C:\Program_Files_(x86)\erl{version}\erts-{version}\bin for 64-bit
             environments).  This is the installation location of the Erlang
             service manager.

     RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG
             Set this variable 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.
