Starting and Stopping Message Queue

Message Queue uses a broker to route and deliver messages. (To scale the Message Queue service, brokers can be clustered.) The imqbrokerd command starts a broker.

To Start Message Queue Broker

1. On the command line, change to the MessageQueue-base/bin directory.

2. Start the Message Queue broker:

   ./imqbrokerd

3. Verify that the broker process is running. For example:

   Solaris OS: /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep imqbrokerd

   Linux: /bin/ps -ef | grep imqbrokerd

To Stop Message Queue Broker

1. When you stop a running broker, you are prompted for user admin user name and password.

   Solaris OS: /usr/bin/imqcmd shutdown bkr [ -b hostname:port ]

   Linux:/opt/sun/mq/bin/imqcmd shutdown bkr [ -b hostname:port ]
