The applet isn't provided any more - it was considered a security problem,
although with a bit of setup it would be relatively safe.
If you have another scripting engine installed on the same server, like ASP,
you could use a script to cycle CF. I wrote one for ASP which works passably
well on my machine:
<% ' Response.Buffer = False %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Cycle CF!</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim strMachineName
strMachineName = "MACHINE" ' You'll need to change this to the appropriate
machine name.
Set Service = GetObject("WinNT://" & strMachineName & "/Cold Fusion
Application Server")
If Service.Status <> 1 Then
Service.Stop
Response.Write("CF Service Stopped!<br>")
End If
If Service.Status <> 4 Then
Service.Start
End If
Response.Write("CF Service Started!")
%>
</body>
