I can't answer that question. Sorry.

I use "graceful" myself. Most of the time it will do a full restart, but
I've noticed that sometimes strange things happen. For those cases I
created a bash alias... (all on one line, of course ;)

  restart /var/apache/bin/apachectl configtest && (
  /var/apache/bin/apachectl stop ; sleep 2 ; /var/apache/bin/apachectl
  start )
