APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
If customer uses the RIPPLE command to stop/restart the
application servers, the application servers stop and start
successfully.  However, the STDOUT (standard output) log for
the server shows only the server stop and not the subsequent
successful server start (restart).

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When a stop/restart of the application server is done, the
application server will stop and start successfully.  However,
the STDOUT (standand output) log for the server shows only the
server stop and not the subsequent successful server start
(restart).
Problem conclusion
There is some delay on Windows for admin server printing the
message to the standard output file at the "restart" operation
on clones when performing the ripple command.  The reason is
because the start operation normally takes longer for the admin
server to execute and print the statement to the stdout.txt
than the stop operation.  The problem is resolved if some time
buffer is allowed at the ripple command after the stop
operation is executed.
Temporary fix
