You can use queue.declare and check the number of messages on queue.declare-ok
(the response).

If you don't want messages to be pushed to the consumer, use basic.get (which
is very similar to HTTP GET) instead of basic.consume.

Exclusive queues can be only be used on one connection and will be removed
what that connection is closed. Auto-delete queues will be automaticlly deleted when the last
consumer disconnects (but never if there was never was a consumer).

Sounds like you want a non-exclusive, non-autodelete queue. Make it durable
if you want it to survive RabbitMQ restart.

I recommend that you take a look at the tutorials that explain queue attributes
and much more: http://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html.
