[rabbitmq-discuss] Running RabbitMQ server as embedded application

[Tim Watson]

Another thing to consider is that you're starting the vm via a script, you might be able to get away with setting SYS_PREFIX in rabbitmq-defaults (as the generic unix packaging does). We're also working on OTP packaging (i.e., delivering rabbit as a self contained package/release), though I'm not sure what kind of timescales are involved in that.

Cheers,
Tim
