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

Use rabbitmqctl stop to stop any node. If you need to specify the node giving you trouble, add the -n rabbit@[hostname] option.
