There are currently no options for start-stop-restart from the command line. However QIE does have the ability to view a channel status from the command line.
To get the current version information you will call 'http://{qie-host}:{qie-port}/appVersion'. This will return the version information for the QIE installation.
To get the channel status you will call 'http://{qie-host}:{qie-port}/channelStatus?{channel-id}'. This will return the current state, and other information. The channel-id can be found in the channel properties window.
Example:
OK - [channelName] Running - QIE version: w.x.y, build z
OK - [channelName] Running (inbound = 3) - QIE version: w.x.y, build z
OK - [channelName] Running (inbound = 1, processing = 2, outbound = 1) - QIE version: w.x.y, build z
WARNING - [channelName] Running (processing = 11) - QIE version: w.x.y, build z
