[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmqctl list_queues explanation needed

Wed Mar 9 11:55:20 GMT 2011

Thanks Simon,

We used rabbitmqctl reset :)  to clear up the mess and then reconfigured. It was easy :)

But with all this exercise and email-exchange we had, we feel more confident about RabbitMQ now.

The user list has been really helpful. Keep it up!

#cheers
Sunil
