Can I ask WHY? -k has never supported anything but start/stop/restart and has always required a seperate -D SSL argument on Win32. I see the advantage of a simple apachectl doit verb that includes ssl. However, overloading -k start -D SSL with -k startssl seems outright silly. We can't argue back-compat here, -k didn't exist before. Not that win32 was complete... -k stop should probably stop-graceful while -k shutdown on win32 should probably slam it all down fast. Likewise we should probably be adding -k graceful for what we do today with -k restart, and let -k restart to hard shutdowns of open connections. This is similar to the -X debate, with one huge exception. -X has been around for a very long time :-) Bill
