How to quickly restart Apache in XAMPP Control Panel?

[dhinged]

I know I can click Stop, wait for Apache to stop, then Start to restart Apache from the XAMPP Control Panel, but how do I quickly restart from the panel without having to go through all that? Zend Server has a quick Restart option (right-click Apache Monitor in Task Manager), and I can command-line it like in normal Apache install, but it seems XAMPP should have the same easy way to do it as Apache Monitor since it already has a control panel.

Is there some way to quickly restart using the panel that I'm not seeing?

If you've installed Apache as a service you could create a batch file with two commands:

Code: Select all

sc stop Apache2.2
sc start Apache2.2

But we are talking about waiting a few seconds, right? Do you have to restart Apache that often that those seconds really matter?
