Cory,
    Please post Wrapper related requests to the Wrapper user mailing 
list rather than sending
them to me directly.

    When the Wrapper is launched as a console application.   The 
thinking was that it could
be easily stopped by pressing control C or something.   There are not 
any commands which
can be used to stop it as is possible with a service.

    One way that you should be able to do this however is to make use of 
the anchor file
feature added in 3.1.1.   See the docs for wrapper.anchorfile.
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-anchorfile.html
   It will create an anchor file at the specified location when the 
wrapper is launched.
The Wrapper will then shut itself down within a few seconds of that file 
being deleted.
   You could then write a simple batch file that deletes this anchor 
file to get the effect
you are looking for.

Cheers,
Leif
