2.2. Running the Broker at the command line

Start the Broker

1. By default, the broker is installed in /usr/sbin/. If this is not on your path, you need to type the whole path to start the broker:

   /usr/sbin/qpidd -t

   You will see output similar to the following when the broker starts:

   [date] [time] info Loaded Module: libbdbstore.so.0
   [date] [time] info Locked data directory: /var/lib/qpidd
   [date] [time] info Management enabled
   [date] [time] info Listening on port 5672
   

   The -t or --trace option enables debug tracing, printing messages to the terminal.
   Note: The locked data directory /var/lib/qpidd is used for persistence, which is enabled by default.
