				| issuing the command runmqlsr is designed to hang. 
 
 1) On the nt platform you need to use the MQSeries Services to create the listener   (Start/Programs/IBM MQSeries/MQSeries Services.
 
 2) On Solaris you can use inetd or  you can from the
 runmqsc prompt issue start listener(limitied to port 1414)  or
 runmqlsr in the background.

				| You can run (manually) the listener on both Windows and Soalris: 
 runmqlsr -t tcp -m QMGR.NAME -p port#
 
 You can get it autostarted on both platforms as well.  See other append for Windows.  For Solaris, you would use inetd.  There are details in the Quick Beginnings manual.

				| Running the listener on NT can be done manually, but if you intend this queue manager in production or to be able to restart from a reboot then use the MQSeries Services that is the best way to get it to start and also
 the most reliable way (It sounds like an oxymoron reliable and NT)
 
 As far as Unix you have several options
 
 1) Inetd, This is my preferred method (NOT IBM's suggested way)
 This will start up an amqcrsta process for every incoming channel.
 
 2) start runmqlsr in the background    "NOHUP runmqlsr PARMS &"

 'Hang' isn't quite accurate
  On NT the runmqlsr command is written so that it does not return, but runs in the foreground. It still works though: try running the command (so it 'hangs') and try a connection (via telnet for example). The connection will succeed and you will see output in the runmqlsr window.

 The magic command on Windows is amqmdain. This administers services (in the background) from the command line. Try searching this site for more info.
