Starting and stopping a server from the command line

You can use the server tasks to start or stop a server.

About this task

The wlp/bin directory contains a script that is called server to help with controlling the server process. The syntax of this script is as follows:
server action serverName [options]

For available values of [options], see Server command options.

Note: If a server is not specified on the command line, the action is performed against the default server instance, defaultServer, if it exists.

Procedure

Example

To start or stop a server by using the server script on Windows systems:
server.bat start serverName
server.bat stop serverName
To start or stop a server by using the server script on other systems:
