at the beginin of the script write:

@echo off

set +x

- kill the process on the server machine
- when ok: desired state up

PRECMD and POSTCMD hasnt return codes, so if the command run did not execute well, the job terminate ok.
Consider this and if the PRECMD is important, add a control with shout to alert and similar.
