How to restart Web App On Demand

[Jerry]

I periodically need to restart a Web application following routine
maintenance tasks (e.g., update database that drives some application
behavior). I understand that the app will restart after updating Web.config,
updating the dll in the bin folder, etc. But I was wondering if there is an
easier way to restart the app on demand (without opening and saving
Web.config, for example).

Thanks.

Have you tried iisreset?
