[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbit chokes?

Thu Nov 5 14:22:12 GMT 2009

Perhaps this is the culprit?

rabbitmqctl list_queues -p gmate_test
Listing queues ...
celerygraph     277558
celery  0
...done.

What's the best way to clear that out?  Looking at the man page for
rabbitmqctl, the only thing I see that would potentially do it would be
to reset the node, then rebuild the vhosts/users.  Is that the only way?
