Red Hat has a script /etc/init.d/rc.d/httpd which does what you've mentioned. The apachectl script is distributed with Apache by the Apache group and does extra things like giving the status of the server and checking the syntax on the configuration files. I use the "apachectl graceful" command quite often. The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be November 26 For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>.
