The Fedora/Redhat Apache httpd initscript's "reload" actually HUPs it, which kills the child processes immediately. Dunno about FreeBSD's. I've gotten into the habit of using "graceful", which just does: apachectl -k graceful That lets child processes finish their current request before being replaced by children running under the updated config: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html#graceful -- Dan Young _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
