Please don't. First of all, php4-imap has no knowledge of webservers; it doesn't know or care about whether libapache-mod-php4 is in use, libapache2-mod-php4, or some other php4 SAPI. There could even be a long-running php daemon running, using the CLI SAPI. The individual php4 module packages know nothing of these things. Second, given the fragile nature of apache and some of its modules, automatically restarting it is asking for trouble. This should be done by the admin, or during a webserver upgrade; there's no sense doing it for a trivial php4 module addition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
