I've installed portal 5.1 on Windows and enabled it to run as a windows-serv
ice. I've noticed that when the portal server is started from the start-menu
, the status on the service is not synchronized, i.e. the service can still 
have status "stopped" while
the portal is actually running. Shouldn't the service status be synchronized
 no matter how you start/stop the server? Taken this into consideration, wha
t is the preferred way to start/stop the server? (service, start menu, comma
nd prompt)

Thanks!
