Using the OpenDJ Control Panel, you can start and stop local servers. You can also start and stop OpenDJ using command-line tools, and use the operating system's capabilities for starting OpenDJ at boot time.

This chapter demonstrates how to start and stop server processes with command line tools and using operating system capabilities. This chapter also describes what OpenDJ directory server does during startup and shutdown, and how it recovers following an abrupt shutdown such as happens during a system crash or when you kill the server process using system tools.
