I wonder if this is a good idea? apachectl does some things that httpd.init does not. For example, an admin might reasonably expect to be able to control Apache's environment by editing bin/envvars, but this will now silently fail when Apache is installed using RPM. Of course httpd.init could also source bin/envvars, but then we start down the road of having to keep httpd.init in sync with apachectl. I think we should just use the documented, recommended way of controlling apache. The extra cost seems minimal, especially compared to the long-term maintenance costs of not doing so. Dan
