The scenario is this: I have an Apache web server installed on a Windows 7 machine. The same machine has cygwin installed, and cygwin is configured with ssh. This allows me to ssh into cygwin remotely, and then, through cygwin, I can access other files on this computer (even those not in cygdrive).
My question: How can I restart the web server through cygwin if I am accessing it remotely through ssh? Is it possible? Thanks
If your service is called Apache, then like this:
ssh machine "net stop Apache; net start Apache"
Sometimes it is called Apache2 or httpd, depending on your distro.
