I know that (from the code, I think it is not really mentioned in the docs). I do like the idea of having a mostly uniform commandline interface between console use and service use. So one could use the same "-k" command (start, stop, shutdown, restart) for a service and for httpd as a console application, and if you don't use the additional new flag, you are controlling a service, if you use the additional new flag you are controlling a console application. That way makes testing and using a configuration via the console very analogous to controling the service. I didn't yet test, whether you can use the new console commandline between different login sessions or even different users. But that would be no serious reason for adding the flag. Actually one could question, whether httpd run as a console application should still block the prompt once the control command even work for the console mode. Regards, Rainer
