in that order, to restart CM Server.
You can also manually start and stop CM Server by running the

If you have more than one profile in use (for example, one for CM Server

%was_bin%\stopServer server1 -profileName cmprofile
%was_bin%\startServer server1 -profileName cmprofile
- On the UNIX system
and Linux:
$WAS_BIN/stopServer server1 -profileName cmprofile
$WAS_BIN/startServer server1 -profileName cmprofile
