Shutdown Manged server without Admin

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement to Restart Managed servers via NodeManager but without AdminServer.
Using WLST I could start Managedserver using NM. (nmConnect, nmStart).
But for Stopping a Managedserver without Admin. I see the option nmKill. But I dont want to kill the process rather want to do a proper shutdown.
Was looking at few docs in oracle site, which says can shutdown a managedsevr using Node Manager to which it is connected. Means first connect(...) then Shutdown().
BUt is it possible to connect to managed server using WLST when Admin is not Available?
If not above is a possible way to shutdown, resume a managed server without Adminserver.
Weblogic11g is the version I have installed.
ThankYou,
Swapna

'I could see a command connect but its only for connecting to a AdminServer'
It is actually the same. (some example are given here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs90/config_scripting/reference.html#1005383)
Note that when your managed server is running on somehost and 8001, you can use the following:
wls:/offline> connect('adminusername','adminpassword','t3://somehost:8001');
Connecting to t3://somehost:8001 with userid adminusername ...
Successfully connected to managed Server 'soa_server1' that belongs to domain 'base_domain'.
Warning: An insecure protocol was used to connect to the
server. To ensure on-the-wire security, the SSL port or
Admin port should be used instead.
wls:/base_domain/serverConfig> shutdown();
Shutting down the server soa_server1 with force=false while connected to soa_server1 ...
Disconnected from weblogic server: soa_server1
Disconnected from weblogic server:
