the NT resource kit (and I assume the 2000 one as well) has a kill.exe executable which does a very nice job of killing a stubborn (busy) process instead of waiting for it to shut down nicely. I have a batch file on the desktop of each of my Witango boxes that kills and restarts the Witango process so I can just double click on that batch file if the Witango process locks up. (Which is a problem that I'm having whenever I clear the cache on a busy server)

Steve,
As part of the persistent restart program I created, I use a free product called PSKILL which I call in the event that the NET STOP command does not complete successfully. PSKILL is the equivalent of ending the task through the Task Manager. You can find it at: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psservice.shtml
They have very good command oriented tools for the developer.

Per suggestions on this list I started stopping Witango, coping Db's to another location for backup and restarting Witango. This is a batch file that is started by the Windows scheduler. I use the Net stop "witango server 5"
About a week ago, I added a site that has quite a bit of traffic. Now the service doesn't stop and restart. Also when I manually stop the service, it doesn't stop and I have to use the Task manager to stop it.
Is there a way I can "force" the stop in my batch file?
Thanks
