There are a few common issues reported when starting weblogic server using scripts.
1. User is not able to access weblogic console.
2. After a few days/hours weblogic server stops abruptly.
3. When user closes putty, they are not able to connect to weblogic server anymore.
4. When user closes windows command prompt, they are not able to connect to weblogic server anymore.
5. Weblogic is started using startManagedWebLogic.cmd/startManagedWebLogic.sh.


By default, WebLogic Server does not run in background mode, so after you close the window the process finishes as well.

In Linux/Unix based platforms, you need to use:

nohup ./startManagedWebLogic.sh <Server> <URL> &

In Windows platforms, you need to start Managed Servers using Windows Services:

There a few more reasons that could cause similar symptoms, like JVM crash, signals sent by the Operating System, and many other reasons. 
But the above steps is the first one to start.

Enjoy!
