Hi Paul, it seems if there is a large number of child processes, apache can take a long time to close all the listening sockets. If this is your problem, then apache should die some time after an unsuccessful restart. In this case, you could try to increase the wait time in the init script (there is a t=4 in there, try to increase it to 10 or however long it takes apache to die in your setup). Does this help? If yes, what wait time works for you?
