Under W2K you have the following options:
First you want shut down domino by itself. Create a Programdocument with the following parameters:
Program name: nserver
Command line: -c “exit”
Second option:
Domino should stopped by a script from another aplication or the AT-command:
Create a batch-script. Note this should use path to your programm and data directory!:
d:
cd lotus\domino\data
c:\lotus\domino\nserver.exe -q
exit
The same can be used for any other os. You only have to change the path to the data and program directory and the name of the executable for the nserver.exe (for example on solaris only “server”).
Hope this helps.

Well you can stop the server via the net stop command, but domino has to be running as a service.

What will be used to invoke this procedure?
Typically, it is during backups when an Administrator wants to “down” the Domino Server unless there’s an OFA installed.
The backup software should also have a pre and post batch job option which it can invoke.
The pre batch job can point to a file called backup.bat with the contents “net stop Lotus Domino Server”
The post batch job can point to a file called finished.bat with the contents “net start Lotus Domino Server”.
Backup starts at pre-determined time, runs backup.bat (shuts down Domino). The backup completes then runs finished.bat which brings Domino up again.
As another poster mentioned, Domino must be running as a service for this to work.
