I have downloaded "jenkins-1.501.zip" from http://jenkins-ci.org/content/thank-you-downloading-windows-installer .

I have extracted zip file and installed Jenkins on Windows 7 successfully. Jenkins runs at http://localhost:8080/ well. I want to stop Jenkins service from console. How can I do that? What's the way to start and restart through console/command line?
