Stopping NT Service Server

Question

Hello All,
My question concerns stopping a managed server once it has been installed and
started as an NT Service. What we want to do is to shutdown our server at night
in order to do database backups. Once we have our managed server running as a
managed service we can issue a stop service command. It looks like that shuts
down the server, but it looks like it does it very abruptly. Is this an OK method
for shutting down a managed server? The reason we're doing this is so that we
can have the command issued automatically by our database server. Is there some
other automated method which we can use for shutting down the server? What are
other people doing for a problem like this where backups are done at night?
Thanks In Advance,
Rich

Answer 1

The WebLogic docs describe how to shut down a server from the command line:

This is perhaps more gentle than stopping the service.
