Hmmm... well, although I'm one of the Apache developers, I never got
used to "apachectl" myself ;-) At least OpenPKG's rc.apache provides
mostly the same functionality, so using "apachectl" is of no great
advantage (except certainly for the feature you meantion below).

That's a good suggestion: OpenPKG-CURRENT's rc.apache now performs the
"apache -t" checks on %restart and %reload and stops processing if
the check fails. Additionally, I've now changed the %reload to signal
"apache" with SIGUSR1 (graceful restart) instead of SIGHUP (forced
restart) because for a forced restart we actually already have %restart
(although it does it via "stop start", but that's fine).
Thanks for your feedback.
