Hi I was looking at ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3101
I wonder why starting ActiveMQ on windows and unix is different, according to http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-getting-started.html#Version5GettingStarted-StartingActiveMQ On windows we tell users to do bin\activemq And on unix bin/activemq start eg on unix you pass in the start command. I would prefer that on Windows you should pass on the command as well such as bin\activemq start Otherwise you cannot get the help syntax by just using bin/activemq Usage: Main [--extdir <dir>] [task] [task-options] [task data] Tasks: browse - Display selected messages in a specified destination. bstat - Performs a predefined query that displays useful statistics regarding the specified broker create - Creates a runnable broker instance in the specified path. decrypt - Decrypts given text dstat - Performs a predefined query that displays useful tabular statistics regarding the specified destination type encrypt - Encrypts given text export - Exports a stopped brokers data files to an archive file list - Lists all available brokers in the specified JMX context purge - Delete selected destination's messages that matches the message selector query - Display selected broker component's attributes and statistics. start - Creates and starts a broker using a configuration file, or a broker URI. stop - Stops a running broker specified by the broker name. So I would if we should change this for Windows in the activemq.bat file, to not have the "start" command in there. So its consistent with unix. And also fixes AMQ-3101 Anyone know any reason about the "start" in the bin/activemq.bat file? -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
