starting activemq

All the web Getting Started instructions as well as the new Manning book 
on ActiveMQ seem to indicate that you start the broker by entering
the command

	bin/activemq

from the main installation directory.

My newbie experience, using 5.4.1 indicates that this does not actually 
start the activemq broker but that entering the command

	bin/activemq start

does start the broker.

Is this the new functionality or am I missing something?

I'm sure the web docs will be updated in time.

 Yes, I'm actively working through the Manning production process
right now. Part of what I'm doing is updating everything to ActiveMQ
5.4.

Thanks, Bruce.

I guess it was from that help that I learned about the start parameter.

Will the web documentation be updated to reflect this?  And will the 
book also be revised before publication?

The start script for ActiveMQ changed in the 5.4 release so that it
now requires a parameter. If you run the script without an argument it
prints out the help which shows all the available parameters. To start
the broker in the foreground, use the 'start' parameter. To start the
broker in the background, use the 'console' parameter.
