Stop
To stop a Node Manager process, close the command shell in which it is running.If you stop a Node Manager process that is currently monitoring Managed Servers, do not shut down those Managed Servers while the Node Manager process is shut down. Node Manager will be unaware of shutdowns performed on Managed Servers while it was down. When Node Manager is restarted, if a Managed Server it was previously monitoring is not running, it will automatically restart it.
Access
Administration Server:
Administration Console, from the Environments > Machines > Configuration > Node Manager page.
Jmx: the Mbean ServerLifeCycleRuntimeMBean uses Node Manager internally to perform operations
WLST script: WLST offline serves as a Node Manager command-line interface that can run in the absence of a running Administration Server. You can use WLST commands to start, stop, and monitor a server instance without connecting to an Administration Server. Starting the Administration Server is the main purpose of the standalone client.
