Hello Matt, @teelov,
You will need to restart the SAS Web Server, not the SAS Web Application Servesr. Meaning, the "Apache" service. Hence, the script you mention is not what you are looking for.
If you ask me, I would try to just restart the SAS Web Server. if it is quick enough, you can avoid to require to restart all the Middle tier. However, be ready to have to restart all the middle-tier if this does not work. The reason is that the SAS Web Server is the responsible of managing the HTTP sessions (not java), hence, if you do not surpass the timeout/error level, you will be fine.
Anyway, you mention a complex SAS server/s. On which way?
PS. You can restart it with its own script at /config/Lev1/Web/WebServer/bin or with the SAS environment manager http://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=bisag&docsetTarget=n0amk5p2yueze7n15ku5qzrum7xk.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en
