为了方便工作中使用，周末抽空对rabbitmq-server用户手册进行了翻译，鉴于自己水平有限，翻译中难免有纰漏产生，如果疑问，欢迎指出探讨。
官方原文：http://www.rabbitmq.com/man/rabbitmq-server.1.man.html
================= 我是分割线 ==================
通过 http://www.rabbitmq.com/manpages.html 可知 RabbitMQ 有5个 General Command ：
1. rabbitmqctl
2. rabbitmq-plugins
3. rabbitmq-server
4. rabbitmq-service
5. rabbitmq-echopid
若要对 server 进行高级配置，则需要参考 administrator's guide（http://www.rabbitmq.com/admin-guide.html）
命令名
rabbitmq-server — 启动 RabbitMQ AMQP server
概要
rabbitmq-server [-detached]
描述
RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.（翻译略）
前台运行 rabbitmq-server 将会显示一个兔子标志，以及按照启动序列给出的加载过程的输出，并以“broker running”作为结尾打印，表明 RabbitMQ broker 已经成功的启动了。如果想要停掉当前的 server ，只需要终止进程或者使用 rabbitmqctl 命令进行操作。
环境变量
RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
默认指向 /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia ，更改该环境变量可以使您存放 Mnesia 数据库文件到希望的位置。
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE
默认指向 /var/log/rabbitmq ，server 产生的 log 文件将存放于该目录。
RABBITMQ_NODENAME
默认指向 rabbit，当你打算在单台物理机上运行多于 1 个 node 时该环境变量有用 - RABBITMQ_NODENAME 在每一个 erlang-node-and-machine 搭配中应该是唯一的。 参见 clustering on a single machine 中的具体说明。
RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
默认情况 RabbitMQ 将绑定到全部 interface (IPv4 和 IPv6，如果存在的话) 上。通过设置该环境变量可以让您只绑定到一个网络 interface 或者 address family 上。
RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
默认为 5672。
选项
-detached
后台启动 server 进程
For example:
# rabbitmq-server -detached
