-0.9. Whoever said we were deprecating them? I thought the plan was that apachectl would continue to accept 'start|stop|restart' and would pass them as 'httpd -k $ARGV' to Apache. That is what apachectl does currently. Yes, you *could* say apachectl -k start with the new code and it would work (I see no problem with that), but where in there are we deprecating the old way? It sounds like just a convenience that -k works, not that it's the new preferred method. Getting rid of 'apachectl start' and friends seems pointless to me, and it will irritate countless admins to change it after so many years for no reason. --Cliff
