Thanks for the help.
So, I must be extremely dumb when it comes to Openfire, or something else as I can't stop Openfire from running without closing the command prompt manually, but hey easy points for you.
This was the guide I was trying to use.
I can get it started by extracting Openfire in the target, then going to the bin file and calling start Openfire, which looks like something below.
C:\> cd Program Files (x86)\Openfire\bin C:\Program Files (x86)\Openfire\bin> Start Openfire
Pretty simple enough, another command prompt opens up which shows that Openfire has started. However, when I tried to stop it with something like this.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Openfire\bin> Stop Openfire 'Stop' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I can't get it to stop.
I need to be able to easily start Openfire and stop it. The end goal was to have a customized Openfire that could be run as a service. I realize that that the default version of Openfire comes with a service, but from what I can see there's no way to create one yourself with the source so I seem restricted to the batch file. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
