text: ===== Stopping a Node
  Installed nodes are started automatically when the SymmetricDS server is started.  An individual node instance can be stopped while other nodes continue to run.
  
  ifdef::pro[]
  To stop a node, select the node you want to stop and click on the *Control* button and choose *Stop*.  The node's status will indicate that is has been stopped.
  endif::pro[]
  
  From the command line, you can use JMX to stop a node.  The following is an example.  You would replace <engine name> with the name of the engine as found in the <<Node Properties File>>
  
  `bin/jmx --bean org.jumpmind.symmetric.<engine name>:name=Node --method stop`
  
  ===== Uninstalling a Node 
  
  Uninstalling a node will remove all SymmetricDS database artifacts and delete the engine's property file.
  
  WARNING: This can not be undone so be sure to uninstall with caution.
  
  ifdef::pro[]
  To uninstall a node, select the node you want to uninstall and click on the _Control_ button and choose _Uninstall_.
  
  .Control->Uninstall

  If the node has no children, you will be prompted by a confirm dialog to make sure you want to uninstall the node.
  
  .Uninstall single node

  If the node has child nodes you will be told that uninstalling the parent node will uninstall all of the child nodes.
  
  .Uninstall current node and all children

  From the command line you can use the symadmin utility to uninstall a node.
  
  `bin/symadmin --engine <engine name> uninstall`
