Using the control panel to stop the service (or issuing a Net Stop
command, which does the same thing) is the equivilent of doing a
shutdown abort.  Probably not the best way to shut down a production
database.  Aside from that, I need to do it in a batch file run from the
scheduler, without user intervention.

Sybrand's advice identified the error.  The shuttype parameter should be
 "sRVc," and not "sVc."

Thanks,

Bob
