5.4 does a "kill -HUP" which is what "service httpd reload" does too. The -HUP signal causes http to re-read stuff rather than shutting down. Still, I don't really understand why 5.4 doesn't use "service reload" which seems more "correct" (and the init.d script does a little bit of checking before the kill -HUP too). *shrug* Peter > CentOS 5.3: ... > postrotate > /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true > CentOS 5.4: ... > postrotate > /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || > true endscript
