It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the Apache httpd daemon\&. .PP The apachectl script can operate in two modes\&. First, it can act as a simple front-end to the httpd command that simply sets any necessary environment variables and then invokes httpd, passing through any command line arguments\&. Second, apachectl can act as a SysV init script, taking simple one-word arguments like start, restart, and stop, and translating them into appropriate signals to httpd\&. .PP If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to the httpd binary\&. You can also specify any necessary httpd command line arguments\&. See the comments in the script for details\&. .PP The apachectl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs\&. For more details, view the comments in the script\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP Only the SysV init-style options are defined here\&. Other arguments are defined on the httpd manual page\&. .TP start Start the Apache httpd daemon\&. Gives an error if it is already running\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -k start\&. .TP stop Stops the Apache httpd daemon\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -k stop\&. .TP restart Restarts the Apache httpd daemon\&. If the daemon is not running, it is started\&. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in configtest before initiating the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't die\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -k restart\&. .TP fullstatus Displays a full status report from mod_status\&. For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled on your server and a text-based browser such as lynx available on your system\&. The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the STATUSURL variable in the script\&. .TP status Displays a brief status report\&. Similar to the fullstatus option, except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted\&. .TP graceful Gracefully restarts the Apache httpd daemon\&. If the daemon is not running, it is started\&. This differs from a normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted\&. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately\&. This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them\&. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in configtest before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -k graceful\&. .TP graceful-stop Gracefully stops the Apache httpd daemon\&. This differs from a normal stop in that currently open connections are not aborted\&. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -k graceful-stop\&. .TP configtest Run a configuration file syntax test\&. It parses the configuration files and either reports Syntax Ok or detailed information about the particular syntax error\&. This is equivalent to apachectl -t\&. .PP The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed\&. .TP startssl To start httpd with SSL support, you should edit your configuration file to include the relevant directives and then use the normal apachectl start\&.
