Answer 1

Step 01: You need to add jenkins for environment variables, Then you can use jenkins commands

Step 02: Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins" with admin prompt

Step 03: Choose your option: jenkins.exe stop / jenkins.exe start / jenkins.exe restart

Answer 2

So by default you can open CMD and write

java -jar jenkins.war

But if your port 8080 is already is in use,so you have to change the Jenkins port number, so for that open Jenkins folder in Program File and open Jenkins.XML file and change the port number such as 8088

Now Open CMD and write

java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8088

Answer 3

To Start Jenkins through Command Line

1. Run CMD with admin

to stop:
jenkins.exe stop

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins

#to stop:
jenkins.exe stop

#to start:
