on windows there is no stop script, it only exists on unix/linux systems (it
lists the process ID's of the zope process and  `kill´s them).

On windows the same effect is achieved but closing the console window.
don't run zope as a service , but I assume the same effect is achieved by
stoppuing the service in the service control pane/app-whatever.

this is a normal Zope-exit result; it sure is intimidating though :-)

Hope this helps.
