Reset of Status Parameters

[Venu Madhav Padakanti]

I am using MySQL version 5.0.22, I am interested in knowing the current 
performance on the MySQL.

With the status command we can get the queries per second but it will 
average since the beginning of time when SQL was up and running and not 
the current rate?

Is there any way to reset that parameter so that the data can reflect 
current without restarting the MySQL

Thanks in advance
