Thank you Bjarne for the command.
After running it I can see the following result:

Successfully listed destinations.

Our setup is done by QuickStart manual and everything is running in the 
same server and started/stopped with a start/stop script created after 
the install. How can I restart individual applications in my 
installation? In NAS administration interface I can see under 
"systemstate" that there are only "remove application" buttons and no 
"restart" or similar options.

Also when I restart IMQ I can see that bitarchive is the only 
application that actually sees the MQ working and connects to it. All 
other applications give connection errors.
