### Starting and Stopping a Node Agent

To create a service that starts and stops the node agent `agent1`, run the following command:

    C:\\windows\\system32\\sc.exe create agent1 binPath= "C:\\Sun\\AppServer\\
    lib\\appservAgentService.exe \\"C:\\Sun\\AppServer\\bin\\asadmin.bat
    start-node-agent --user admin --passwordfile C:\\Sun\\AppServer\\
    password.txt agent1\\" \\"C:\\Sun\\AppServer\\bin\\asadmin.bat
    stop-node-agent agent1\\"" start=auto DisplayName="SJESAS_SE8.1 AGENT1"

Note –

The start and stop commands entered as part of the `binPath=` parameter must have the correct syntax. To test, run the commands from the command prompt. If the commands do not properly start or stop the domain or node agent, the service will not work correctly.

Also, do not use a mixture of `asadmin start` and `stop` commands and `service start` and `stops`. Mixing the two can cause the server status to be out of sync. For example, the service might not show that the component has started even though the component is not running. To avoid this situation, always use the `sc.exe` command to start and stop the component when using services.
