<p>Note that you can also use the -J <a

<p>Now you are ready to start the controlling JMeter client. For MS-Windows,
start the client with the script "bin/jmeter.bat". For UNIX,
use the script "bin/jmeter". You will notice that the Run menu contains two
new sub-menus: "Remote Start" and "Remote Stop"
(see figure 1). These menus contain the client that you set in the properties
file. Use the remote start and stop instead of the
normal JMeter start and stop menu items.</p>

+<p><b>Step 3b: Start the JMeter from a non-GUI Client</b></p>
+<p>
+As an alternative, you can start the remote server(s) from a non-GUI
(command-line) client.
+The command to do this is:
+<pre>
+jmeter -n -t script.jmx -r
+or
+jmeter -n -t script.jmx -R server1,server2...
+</pre>
+The first example will start whatever servers are defined in the JMeter
property remote_hosts;
+the second example will define remote_hosts from the list of servers and then
run the remote servers.
+<br/>
+The command-line client will exit when all the remote servers have stopped.
+<note>
+There is currently no way to stop the remote servers gracefully from the
command-line.

<p>In some cases, the jmeter-server script may not work for you (if you are
using an OS platform not anticipated by the JMeter developers). Here is how to
start the JMeter servers (step 1 above) with a more manual process:</p>
