ActiveMQ comes bundled with quick, easy yet powerful Ant-based consumer and producer scripts. Look at the example/ directory of the base installation. Run "ant" there and you'll get instructions. Anyway, for your use case, this command would do the trick:
ant consumer -Durl=tcp://10.10.10.10:61616 -DsleepTime=10000000 -Dsubject= my.topic.name -Dtopic=true That will start up a consumer that blocks 166 minutes between receive and receive. Hopefully sufficient to simulate your scenario.
