Description

I've got tika-server-1.7.jar from http://tika.apache.org/download.html

I've downloaded v1.0.15 of the Windows binaries for Apache Commons Daemon from http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/binaries.html

I can get Tika started as a service, but I can't determine what to use for a stop method.

prunsrv.exe //IS//tika-daemon --DisplayName "Tika Daemon" --Classpath "C:\Tika Service\tika-server-1.7.jar" --StartClass "org.apache.tika.server.TikaServerCli" --StopClass "org.apache.tika.server.TikaServerCli" --StartMethod main --StopMethod main --Description "Tika Daemon Windows Service" --StartMode java --StopMode java

This starts, and works as I'd hope, but when trying to stop the service it doesn't respond. Obviously org.apache.tika.server.TikaServerCli.main(string[] args) isn't a suitable stop method, but I'm lost for alternatives.

Using Daemon in exe mode works for start, but gives inconsistent results for stop. Adding a stop method to Tika would be ideal.
