Hey Ben,

That looks perfect. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to connect to Rabbit to
run those commands. I had a look at the mailing lists and found some
commands that aren't working for me. Perhaps you can help?

dave at vsdlbblue01:~$ erl -sname temp -remsh rabbit at localhost
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.5.2 [source] [async-threads:0] [hipe]
[kernel-poll:false]
