管理 RabbitMQ 服务器的几种方式
1.通过 rabbitmqctl 脚本</strong></span> 
  
  rabbitmqctl 是 shell 脚本,其通过 exec 调用了 erl 程序。会间接调用到如下两个 shell 脚本: 
    
在使用该脚本时允许用户定制的环境变量为:
    
下面分别看下这几个脚本都干了哪些事情。

  2. 通过 RabbitMQ Management plugin</strong></span> 
  首先想到的问题是:为什么有了 rabbitmqctl 还要 RabbitMQ Management plugin ? 
    
RabbitMQ Management plugin 提供了如下几种入口:
    
与《Rabbitmq in Action》中的说明进行对照:
    
其中,
    
官网原文如下介绍该工具:rabbitmqadmin 提供了 Web UI 上所具有的全部功能,且更易于在脚本中使用。rabbitmqadmin 是一个特化的 HTTP 客户端,但如果你打算在自己的应用程序中调用 rabbitmqadmin ,那么还是建议你采用直接访问 HTTP API 的方式 。</span> 另外, rabb</span> itmqadmin 一般会在增加可执行权限后放到 /usr/local/bin 中。
