You could try using exec to set up an "AT" job with a short delay which will then run 'net apache restart' - I'm not a total windows guru so I can't give you the exact recipe... Something like exec('AT 12:00 "net apache restart"'); Check the documentation on the AT command... One possible extra advantage is that you could cancel the 'AT' job during the delay period if you clicked restart by accident :) Louie Miranda wrote: > Thanks for your suggestions. > > But, both did not worked. > > Louie > > On 10/19/07, Philip Thompson <philthathril@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On 10/19/07, Robert Degen <robert.degen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Why don't you try a >>> >>> passthru('net apache restart') >>> >>> perhabs another parameter order, but I think It won't work. >>> Stopping it might work, but restarting... >>> >>> >>> >>> On Fr, Okt 19, 2007 at 04:32:45 +0800, Louie Miranda wrote: >>>> Is it possible to restart Windows Apache (service) on a PHP script? >>>> >>>> i have installed PHP/Apache on a Windows machine.
