Cool.

Normally when you run Rabbit, the name of the Erlang node that it is
running in is called rabbit at YOUR_HOSTNAME.

So to start a remote shell to that node, start a new Erlang shell
using the following command line:

$ erl -sname foo -remsh rabbit at YOUR_HOSTNAME

Then you should see:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.4 [source] [smp:2]
[async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6.4  (abort with ^G)
(rabbit at xlr8)1>

(As an aside, if you had run rabbit in the foreground and could access
it's Erlang shell, you would see the following pop up when the 2nd
node connects to it: node foo at xlr8 up).

In the remote shell, type in rabbit_amqqueue:stat_all():

(rabbit at xlr8)1> rabbit_amqqueue:stat_all().
[{ok,{resource,<<"/">>,queue,<<"foo1221083995729">>},0,0}]

And there you go.

BTW, one request - please post to the list and not to me personally :-)

HTH,

Ben
