I tried to write a very basic configuration (no credentials things), and 
it work.

Next I try to start playing with shovel
1. I Set another broker in another engine , let's name it 'core'
2. my shovel enabled in engine 'bino-desktop'

3. Before I add shovel config to my rabbitmq.config, the shovel status 
query only show '[]', I think it's because I didn't add the shovel 
config first.

4. I try to add shovel things to my config file, adopting the example 
configuration from http://www.rabbitmq.com/shovel.html , but only the 
'mandatory' things.
Here is my try (/etc/rabbitmq/.config) :
-----START----------
bino at bino-desktop:/etc/rabbitmq$ cat rabbitmq.config
[
     {mnesia, [{dump_log_write_threshold, 1000}]},
     {rabbit, [{tcp_listeners, [5673]}]},
     {rabbitmq_shovel,
         [{shovels,
             [{my_first_shovel,
                 {sources,[{broker, "amqp://"}]
                 },
                 {destinations,[{broker, 
"amqp://guest:guest@192.168.10.241"}]
                 },
                 {queue, <<"task_queue">>}
             }]
         }]
     }
].

-----STOP-----------

5. try to restart the rabbitmq service ... and it failed.
I got this from the startup_err :
------START---------
bino at bino-desktop:/etc/rabbitmq$ cat /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) 
({application_start_failure,rabbitmq_shovel,{require_list_of_shovel_configurations,{rabbit_shovel,start,[normal,[]]}}})
------STOP----------

Kindly please tell me what to do .

Sincerely
-bino-
