WINDOWS:

QIE runs as a service on windows.  To start and stop the 64 bit version from a script or command prompt use:

net start QIEService64

net stop QIEService64

To check if the service is running use:

net start | find "QIEService64"

or

sc query "QIEService" | find "RUNNING"

For the 32 bit version use QIEService or check the name in windows services.

NOTE: For this to work from a command prompt first use "Run as Administrator"

Also see this bug regarding stopping the QIE service abruptly:

MACOS:

To start and stop the QIE service on Mac OS open a terminal window and  execute the following commands

startQie

stopQie
