You can use

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo -n 'Stopping digital processes...'
/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment stop
/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver stop
echo stopped
echo -n 'Starting digital processes...'
/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment start
/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver start
echo stopped

point xgate

If the programs produce output You may want to do something like
/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment stop &> error.log
if You are sure that it will stop and output isn't interesting or read return value and act upon, such as

/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment stop &> error.log
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo stopped; else echo Something went wrong, read error.log;fi

or something like that?

OPTIONS

       --domaindir	       directory where the domains are stopped. If specified, path must be accessible in the filesystem. If not specified,
			       the domain is stopped in the default install_dir/domains directory.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.
