+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
+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.
+.Pp
+Running
+.Nm
+allows the RabbitMQ broker to be run as a service on
+NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista® environments.
+The RabbitMQ broker service can be started and stopped using the
+Windows® services applet.
+.Pp
+By default the service will run in the authentication context of the
+local system account.
+It is therefore necessary to synchronise Erlang cookies between the
+local system account (typically
+.Pa C:\(rsWindows\(rs.erlang.cookie
+and the account that will be used to run
+.Xr rabbitmqctl 8 .

+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_SERVICENAME
+Defaults to RabbitMQ.
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_BASE
+Defaults to the application data directory of the current user.
+This is the location of log and database directories.
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_NODENAME
+Defaults to
+.Qq rabbit .
+This can be useful if you want to run more than one node per machine -
+.Ev RABBITMQ_NODENAME
+should be unique per erlang-node-and-machine combination.
+See the
+.Lk http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html#single-machine clustering on a single machine guide
+for details.
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS
+By default RabbitMQ will bind to all interfaces, on IPv4 and IPv6 if
+available.
+Set this if you only want to bind to one network interface or address
+family.
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT
+Defaults to 5672.
+.It Ev ERLANG_SERVICE_MANAGER_PATH
+Defaults to
+.Pa C:\(rsProgram\ Files\(rserl5.5.5\(rserts-5.5.5\(rsbin
+(or
+.Pa C:\(rsProgram\ Files\ (x86)\(rserl5.5.5\(rserts-5.5.5\(rsbin
+for 64-bit environments).
+This is the installation location of the Erlang service manager.
+.It Ev RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG
+Set this varable to
+.Sy new or
+.Sy reuse
+to have the console output from the server redirected to a file named
+.Pa SERVICENAME.debug
+in the application data directory of the user that installed the
+service.
+Under Vista this will be
+.Pa C:\(rsUsers\(rsAppData\(rsusername\(rsSERVICENAME .
+Under previous versions of Windows this will be
+.Pa C:\(rsDocuments and Settings\(rsusername\(rsApplication Data\(rsSERVICENAME .
+If
+.Ev RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG
+is set to
+.Sy new
+then a new file will be created each time the service starts.
+If
+.Ev RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG
+is set to
+.Sy reuse
+then the file will be overwritten each time the service starts.
+The default behaviour when
+.Ev RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG
+is not set or set to a value other than
+.Sy new
+or
+.Sy reuse
+is to discard the server output.
