The intended behavior is to restart Apache only if is running. It must
not be started if it is stopped or not even available. It does matter
if the module is enabled, but only if Apache is also running.

I see at least two possible implementations:
1) use the 'status_of_proc' LSB function (there are many init scripts
doing this for the status command);
2) check if there is any Apache process running:
  # pidof apache2 > /dev/null && invoke-rc.d apache2 restart

Thanks
