For additional information about default paths, see Directory conventions.

Log in as administrator to the computer on which the Sametime Gateway Server is installed.
Open a command window and navigate to the Sametime Gateway Server profile directory that contains binary files:profile_root\bin
Type the following command to stop the Sametime Gateway Server. Note that RTCGWServer is case-sensitive, and that on all the stopserver commands, you are prompted to enter your administrative user ID and password that you created.
- Windows™:
```
stopserver.bat RTCGWServer
```
- Linux™ :
```
./stopServer.sh RTCGWServer
```
  A password is not required to start a server but when entering a stop command, you are required to enter the administrator password. If you do not enter the password when you enter the stop command, you are prompted to enter it. For example, the stop command with an administrator password is shown here:
```
./stopServer.sh RTCGWServer -user wasadmin -password adminpassword 
```
- IBM i:
```
stopServer RTCGWServer
```

Type the following command to start Sametime Gateway Server.
