IIS App Pool Recycle

We've been tasked with "minimizing our footprint" when installing locally compiled executables into production. Translation, we're looking for a way to recycle specific app pools rather than doing a full IIS Reset at deploy time so as not to affect other websites and app pools on the machine we're deploying to.

Currently we use ExecWait 'IISRESET /stop' and ExecWait 'IISRESET /start' in our nsis files.

The NsisIIS plug-in currently supports NsisIIS::Start and NsisIIS::Stop (similiar to above) and I can't find a reference to cycling a specific application pool using NSIS. Has anyone discovered a way to do this?

Thanks
