I can see how that can work for a desktop, because you will eventually
shut the machine down, but AIUI, Apache can be updated on a running
server without rebooting or restarting it and this has been a feature
for years.
You don't have to restart the hardware - just the single program that has
been updated. So on Red Hat systems you would service httpd restart (not
sure how to do it on Debian)
On other systems you could just send SIGHUP to the parent process of the
server.
But the running apache instance will need to be re-started. It just
doesn't require taking the whole system down.
