The apply button restarts all the services/interfaces AFAIK, its all JavaScript, so you're talking about some kind of script that you would design to restart everything by calling this script without rebooting, I presume some shell script would do the job.
Restarting services and what not its pretty much simple'ish, its Linux after all in the dd-wrt flavour.
Short of that you can reboot.
You can search the source code for to_apply and look at what comes up.

There is no 'easy' answer to this for what command(s) to use via cli. The first would be nvram commit; but
what you'd have to use after that really depends on what exactly you've changed and what router it is on. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

When unsure top should know, which running services are going atm, so if for instance, you change a setting for wifi, you should have already sent that interface down, before fiddling so sending the if back up would do the trick and nothing else should be needed.

It is Linux, but it is also DD-WRT. Restarting wireless on Broadcom, for example is different than on Atheros, Marvell, etc. There is also a specific service that is for just wireless on all platforms, as well as one for firewall, and one for networking in general, if I am not mistaken. I just think it's easier to 'nvram commit && reboot'; I don't have all my notes handy on specifics, unfortunately. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I have to agree with KP... the reboots seem more reliable and ensure that what you are doing will work next time. Otherwise I would suggest doing all of the individual commands yourself

It's a bit strange you can't easily reproduce the gui apply button in console
Depends what you mean by easy (strange not so much). A reboot is pretty easy, does it get any easier? Apply exists in UI, so two easy simple ways already exist.
I dont know if anyone will implement convenient command to restart all related services and send interfaced down/up (the easy one you wanted). Its open source though, usually when something is annoying enough it prompts for community driven contributions.
