How to start CouchDB from command line

Question

I know we can use net start and stop to manage a couchDB service on windows. I want to know if there alternate ways to manage couchDB. I want to create start and stop couchDB scripts like the ones used in the linux installation so that I can customize it.

Solution

If you don't have it installed as a service you can use the couchdb.bat file to start. Located here: install_dir\bin.

I get an error when I double click couchdb.cmd. I have the latest version installed. I created my own batch file like so net.exe start "apache couchdb" .
