[rabbitmq-discuss] 'rabbitmqctl status' doesn't work in RabbitMQ 3.0.0

Wed Dec 5 07:42:27 GMT 2012

I cannot find a bug tracker so I'm posting this here. It appears that the 
'rabbitmqctl status' command is broken. I'm on Debian 6 and I installed the 
Debian package as provided on rabbitmq.com. Here's what happens:

# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start
Starting message broker: rabbitmq-server.

To confirm that RabbitMQ is properly started:

# ps auxw | grep rabbitmq
rabbitmq 11278 29.4  7.4  64104 37124 ?        Sl   02:38   0:01 
/usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.8/bin/beam ....

But:

# rabbitmqctl status
Status of node rabbit at web1 ...
Error: {{case_clause,{unknown_request}},
        [{rabbit_vm,'-sup_memory/1-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,sup_memory,1},
         {rabbit_vm,'-sup_memory/1-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,sup_memory,1},
         {rabbit_vm,'-plugin_memory/0-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,plugin_memory,0},
         {rabbit_vm,memory,0},
         {rabbit,status,0}]}
# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server status
Status of node rabbit at web1 ...
Error: {{case_clause,{unknown_request}},
        [{rabbit_vm,'-sup_memory/1-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,sup_memory,1},
         {rabbit_vm,'-sup_memory/1-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,sup_memory,1},
         {rabbit_vm,'-plugin_memory/0-lc$^0/1-0-',1},
         {rabbit_vm,plugin_memory,0},
         {rabbit_vm,memory,0},
         {rabbit,status,0}]}

This is a big problem because '/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server stop' also 
doesn't work anymore. The init script uses 'rabbitmqctl status' to check 
whether the server needs to be stopped.
