Answer : sample rc  script for starting and stoping websphere application server

Hi,

in [product_installation_root]/bin must be a sample startup script startServerBasic.sh, which could serve you as a template. It is not the recommended means of launching the server, however!

To start the Advanced Single Server Edition there is the script: [product_installation_root]/bin/startServer.sh

Another option is using the startServer option -script which will generate a start script for you, to use it for future startups.

To stop the server there is the script [product_installation_root]/bin/stopServer.sh

Here is chapter 6.6a of IBM's WAS documentation which contains the above info plus a whole bunch of advanced considerations regarding starting and stopping the server -
