Put this into a file with .bat extension.

@echo off

appcmd start sites "site1"
appcmd stop sites "site2"

Update

Just ensure that appcmd is available anywhere by adding %windir%\system32\inetsrv\ to the PATH environment variable of your system. Alternatively, you can use the full path to appcmd.exe in the batch file.
