Hmm. Not sure if there's a great way to do this. Track down the 
rabbit.app file and grep for vsn?

$ locate rabbit.app | while read f ; do grep vsn $f ; done
      {vsn,"3.1.0"},

Or if you installed via a package manager, ask it:

$ dpkg -l rabbitmq-server
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| 
Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  rabbitmq-serve 3.1.0-1        AMQP server written in Erlang

But that's probably cheating ;-)

Cheers, Simon
