Some handy bash aliases for controlling Apache on Mac. Tested on OS X 10.8.3. Add the below code to your ~/.bash_profile and run `source ~/.bash_profile`. Install terminal-notifier (`sudo gem install terminal-notifier`) for Notification Center alerts.

alias apache-start="sudo apachectl start"
alias apache-stop="sudo apachectl stop"
alias apache-restart="sudo apachectl restart"
alias apache-config="subl /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf /etc/hosts -n"
 
apache-toggle-vhost() {
    apache_httpd_conf_file="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
    commented_out=$(sudo perl -pi -e 'END { print($prefix)} s/(#?)Include (.*?-vhosts.conf$)/if($1){$prefix=""}else{$prefix="#"}$prefix."Include ".$2/e' $apache_httpd_conf_file)
    if [ -n "$commented_out" ]; then
		terminal-notifier -message "Virtual Hosts are disabled. Apache restarted" -title "Virtual Hosts Off"
	else
		terminal-notifier -message "Virtual Hosts are enabled. Apache restarted" -title "Virtual Hosts On"
	fi
	apache-restart
