Start and Stop Hybris Server. & Server Console Logs.

I could not find this in the documentation.unfortunately. Its Pretty basic though.

This is how one can start and stop the Hybris server instead of killing the process in the task manager :-) or doing a Ctrl +C and then Y  . on the Console.

On Command Prompt .. Navigate to  Installation Directory . viz. E:hybris\bin\platform

The following arguments can be passed to hybrisserver.bat .

catalina.bat [hybris mode]
Usage:  catalina.bat ( commands ... )
commands:
  run               Start Tomcat in the current window
  start             Start Tomcat as windows service
  stop              Stop Catalina

At Cmd prompt

to Start : >hybrisserver.bat -start    ( Start as a Windows Service ) .In This case You will need to seperately open the Logs.

to Stop  : >hybrisserver.bat -stop

Console Logs Path .

E:\hybris\log\tomcat\console-20140312.txt   ( Wierd that it is a text file  and not a .log file )

It is impossible to debug Hybris looking at logs in the console.
