another hack around this mess: apache2ctl -k graceful
(note the "-k") this leads to the script not matching on "graceful", going to the "*" case instead and passing the arguments to /usr/sbin/apache2, bypassing any systemctl invocation. Actually this is what I usually type, but not all of our scripts/crontabs/fellow admins use it. So my mailbox is still flooded with these messages: Invoking 'systemctl restart apache2'. Use 'systemctl status apache2' for more info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832182 Title: systemd unable to detect running apache if invoked via "apache2ctl graceful" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1832182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
