to run as a daemon process

 ./qpidd --daemon

stopping the daemon

Most common questions getting qpidd running

No data directory

The qpidd broker requires you to setup a data directory or specify --no-data-dir (see help for more details). Best
is to make sure that you have create a data directory for qpidd.

The default location is

/lib/var/qpidd

An alternate location can be set with --data-dir

Starting qpidd and it says that process is already locked

Note that when qpidd starts it creates a lock file is data directories are being used. If you have a core, please mail
the trace from the core to the qpid-dev@i.a.o mailing list. Then to clear the lock run

./qpidd --quit
q

It should also be noted that multiple brokers can be run on the same host. To do so set alternate data directories for each qpidd instance.

Using the conf file

In order to use the conf file, use the same options that are on the command line

./qpidd --help

but format in the following way.
a.) remove the '--' from the beginning of the option.
b.) place a '=' between the option and the value.
c.) place one option per line.

Slightly more complex configuration
