The machine isn't doing anything else, so it's not as if I'm disrupting other services with all of the restarting. To me, restarting apache isn't any more work than restarting the test server with the added benefit of not having to re-test everything to make sure it still works under apache when I'm done. However, if there's a technical reason why it's a bad idea, I'd be very interested to know it so that I can stop doing it this way. Thanks, Matt
