This page covers the
RecycleAppPool operation in the
SPDev command line utility.
Operation: RecycleAppPool
Recycle the IIS Application Pool Using the URL Instead of the App Pool Name.

The RecycleAppPool operation recycles the IIS application pool using a URL instead of having to know the name of the IIS application pool.
Recycle the IIS application pool by specifying the web application URL - not the application pool name!
Recycling the IIS application pool is much faster than the IISReset command to force new assemblies to load!
