Dumping in Community edition

I'm using community edition of neo4j and trying to export my db using dump command of neo4j-admin:

neo4j-admin dump --database=neo4j --to=/export/00001.dump

but neo4j says:

The database is in use. Stop database 'neo4j' and try again.

I tried to stop DB using STOP DATABASE administrative command but this command only exists in enterprise edition!
So How can I dump my DB into a file?!

It is depending on the server platform, on Linux it is service neo4j stop
Either that or neo4j stop will stop the database.
Replace stop with start to start it again.

On windows I assume neo4j stop will work as well.
