You can start and stop each FileNet® P8 component by using graphical user interface (GUI)-based or command-line-based instructions. The GUI and command-line instructions can be used separately or together. You can use the command-line instructions to create a simple batch file to start and stop each FileNet P8 component. On Windows platforms with Microsoft Windows Resource Kit installed, you can use the Service Control (sc.exe) application to stop and start services remotely on some of the component servers.
