ActiveMQ is the file with the start/termination scripts for ActiveMQ. On Linux, you need to manually start or stop the Message Broker. To do this:

  1. Navigate to the folder containing the start/termination scripts. Usually it is under <your ActiveMQ installation Dir>/bin .

  2. Run the appropriate script with the parameter start to start the corresponding daemon, or stop to stop an existing daemon. For example:

    ./activemq  start
    ./activemq  stop
    ./activemq status

  3. To run the broker in the console:

    activemq console
