Question about Apache/Windows

A basic question about Apache for Windows.


Is there a way to send it a message from the local machine, that temporarily turns the server off. And then another to turn it off.


I need to be able to do this from a script running in another process.


Why: I want to archive then delete the log files once a day so they don't grow to be a gigabyte in size.
