For Windows you might want to mention the Windows command line tool for
working with Services : "sc.exe".

Examples:

C:\d\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\bin>sc query domain1

SERVICE_NAME: domain1
        TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE : 1 STOPPED
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 1077 (0x435)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT : 0x0

=============
sc start domain1
sc stop domain1
sc delete domain1

For Windows it is NOT good enough to add the -Xrs to the server. It
must also be added to the JVM that asadmin itself runs inside of. That
means the user needs to add
"-Xrs" directly into asadmin.bat ==or== make a copy of asadmin.bat to,
e.g. asadminservice.bat and add the -Xrs to that batch file. And then
change the xml file to use that batch file instead of asadmin. It's
simplest to just add -Xrs to asadmin one time.

Why? What happens under the covers with Windows Services is that the
service runs:

asadmin start-xxx --verbose

I.e. you always have 2 JVMs. There is a good reason why it is done this
way.

-- Other than this -- it looks good.
