  You can stop, start and restart apache from the command line with these commands:
  
  
  
  apachectl -k start
  
  
  
  apachectl -k stop
  
  
  
  apachectl -k graceful
  
  
  
  The last one is the best way to quickly stop and restart apache. I'm sure you could write an applescript to send those to the command line.

  Thanks. I tried sending those to the terminal with QuicKeys, but it doesn't work...is it because I've installed Apache 2?

  Honestly, what is hard or time consuming about opening System Preferences? That is probably the easiest way to start/stop Apache that I've yet seen.
  
  
  
  Write a bash script (type text into a plain text document with Textedit and then 'chmod +x' it to make it executable) and simply execute that whenever you want Apache to start stop.
