2.3.1 Starting and Stopping the conmgr ProcessDescribes starting and stopping the conmgr process.
You can use commands related to Windows services to start, stop, and check the health of the conmgr process.
To use a Windows service, register the confmgr process with the Windows service.
Note
Although it is possible to start and stop the conmgr process by running the cm_ctl command without registering the conmgr process with the Windows service, we recommend that you use the Windows service to start and stop the conmgr process for the following reasons.
The cm_ctl command starts the conmgr process as a user process. Therefore, closing the command prompt window from which the command was executed will force the conmgr process to stop.
