weblogic api and curl

Question

I'm just wondering if there's a restful api or curl commands for 12c versions below to managed the servers in weblogic like doing stop, start of the specific server.

I have tried the below api link for version 12.1.3.0.0 (12c) and managed to get what i wanted.

https://[Host]:[Port]/management/wls/latest/servers/id/[Servername]/shutdown?force=true

However, in the previous versions like 10.3.6.0. (11g) it doesn't seems to work even if use some curl commands. my reason for this is i just want to automate some actions in weblogic.

can anyone help me with this.

The REST Management API has been introduced in WebLogic Server 12c. This feature does not exist in previous version. WLST is the recommanded way to automate your actions. Note that a simple shell script is enough to start/stop a server instance.
