Restarting Coldfusion Server

[meensi]

Hi All,

Is there anyway we can restart the coldfusion server through any code or Admin API?

We are having coldfusion MX 7. We do not have access to to the server for restarting. Every time we need to wait for the Administrator to restart it.

I want to know is there any Admin API which we can use to restart the server?

Thanks in advance for your help..:)

Have you looked at the docs? Only relevant one is serverinstance.cfc - "Start, stop, and restart JRun servers. This CFC only works when running the multiserver configuration"

Generally a website wouldn't have permissions to restart a Windows service, so no.

Are you talking about a server admin or a cf admin?

For MX7 standard edition on Windows, you can start/stop the server by running the cfstart/cfstop batch files in C:\CFusionMX7\bin.
