Thanks for your response. From your reply, it seems I need to reword my question.
Actually, cntl-C doesn't stop the rmiregistry. I've used this command to get back to the MSDOS prompt, but the rmiregistry
thread continues.
I'd like to be able to stop the rmiregistry, and restart it using the same port. Using cntl-C does not stop the rmiregistry's use of the chosen port.
Is it possible to do this from the MSDOS prompt?
How is the rmiregistry started/stopped from within the java code?
