[rabbitmq-discuss] Error code 541

[Eran Sandler]

I'm happy to say that I may have found the problem to this issue.


If I run rabbitmq from the command line and NOT through erlsrv (in 
Windows erlsrv will run as a Windows service) the process is alive and 
well and not having any issues.


If I run it through erlsrv, it dies after less than 24 hours with the 
annoying error code 541.


Since Windows is a bit more annoying with running background processes 
(its not enough to add an "&" character :-) ) I wrote a small Windows 
service that acts as a delegate and executes rabbitmq's batch file 
(rabbitmq-server.bat).


If the real rabbitmq process dies from whatever reason, the Windows 
service will stop as if it died as well. That allows me to mimic the 
behavior one would see if running rabbitmq as a background process or as 
a task during boot on Linux.

So far its running for about 48 hours without a problem.


If you want, I can share the little Windows Service (I called it 
RabbitMQ Executer) with the list.

For ease of use and implementation time I wrote it in C# (in .NET), so 
it requires the .NET runtime, but it can easily be written in native C 
since all it does is open a thread and executes the RabbitMQ process.
