How do I stop the RabbitMQ server on localhost

Question

I installed RabbitMQ server on OS X, and started it on command line. Now, it is not obvious that how I should stop it from running? After I did:

sudo rabbitmq-se         


        

Answer 1

It turns out that it is related to permissions. Somehow my rabbitmq server was started with user 'rabbitmq' (which is strange), so that I had to do

sudo -u rabbitmq rabbitmqctl stop
