I just tried to restart Apache, but get:

# service httpd status
httpd dead but subsys locked

I've cleared /var/run/httpd*, and, 
cleared /var/lock/subsys/httpd*

then, status said 'off'

but, every time I tried to start it, it would go back to 
'httpd dead but subsys locked'

I guess some sockets were holding it open..?


ps -ax |grep httpd showed nothing
netstat | grep http showed a number of opened sockets

I ended up re-starting the system, but, what would have been a proper way
to clear left over remnants of httpd to allow a restart ?
