Chapter 2. Start the Messaging Broker
2.1. Starting the Broker via command line vs as a service
When started as a service, the Broker reads its start-up options from a configuration file. When started at the command line, the Broker can read its start-up options either from a configuration file, or from command-line arguments.
Starting the Broker as a service is useful for production servers. The Broker can be configured to automatically start whenever the server is restarted. For development use, starting and re-starting the Broker with different configurations usually means that starting from the command line is useful.
