It should not be too hard, but in the current state of the stats page, I don't want to. The reason is simple : the page is not secure. It asks for a basic auth (clear text), so it is not acceptable to let anyone clear the stats.

However, I see a perfect place for this : the control socket (which does not exist yet) which will be used to turn servers on/off. This will be a UNIX socket, just like the current stats socket. It will require some controls (possibly authentication) before accepting commands from other processes.
