This CL program may be used to start or stop a Websphere 3.5 application server from a green-screen command line, via a submitted job. It comes in handy when there is a desire to automate stopping and starting of individual WebSphere app servers.
The WSCP interface is used and it works fine on WebSphere 3.5.4 (Std and Adv) and above. Although not tested on WAS 4.0, it should work after changing the path on the "CD" command to the appropriate 4.0 path (e.g. WebASAdv4).
