Step 1: Apache ActiveMQ installation
I am installing ActiveMQ in /usr/share/php directory.

cd /usr/share/php
wget http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/apache/activemq/apache-activemq/5.3.0/apache-activemq-5.3.0-bin.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache-activemq-5.3.0-bin.tar.gz
mv apache-activemq-5.3.0 activemq

=========================================================================
Step 2: Run Apache ActiveMq

activemq/bin/activemq start
or
nohup activemq/bin/activemq start > /usr/local/queueTest/smlog 2>&1 &  
=========================================================================
Step3: Check running status of ActiveMq

netstat -an|grep 61616
ps -ef|grep activemq
=========================================================================
Step4: ActiveMQ Web Admin interface
http://localhost:8161/admin/

=========================================================================
Step5: Stop Apache AcitveMQ
kill -9 [PID]

=========================================================================
Step6: ActiveMQ admin command
ActiveMQ is taking configuration details via simple xml (default:activemq.xml) file located in conf directory.
   vi activemq/conf/activemq.xml
Make a small change in activemq.xml and your activemq-admin command will start working
Change the default createConnector=ˇ¨falseˇ¨ to createConnector=ˇ¨trueˇ¨ like below:
   <managementContext>
     <managementContext createConnector="true"/>
   </managementContext>
Now you can use below command for starting Apache ActiveMQ, stopping it and listing the connected brokers.
   activemq/bin/activemq-admin start
   activemq/bin/activemq-admin stop
   activemq/bin/activemq-admin list
