NAME
       apachectl - Apache HTTP server control interface

SYNOPSIS
       apachectl command [...]

DESCRIPTION
       apachectl  is  a	 front	end  to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol
       (HTTP) server.  It is designed to help the  administrator  control  the
       functioning of the Apache httpd daemon.

       NOTE:  If  your	Apache	installation uses non-standard paths, you will
       need to edit the apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to  your
       PID  file  and  your  httpd binary.  See the comments in the script for
       details.

       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.

       Full documentation for Apache is available at http://httpd.apache.org/

OPTIONS
       The command can be any one or more of the following options:

       start	   Start  the  Apache daemon.  Gives an error if it is already
		   running.

       stop	   Stops the Apache daemon.

       restart	   Restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGHUP.  If  the
		   daemon  is  not running, it is started.  This command auto‐
		   matically checks the	 configuration	files  via  configtest
		   before  initiating  the restart to make sure Apache doesn't
		   die.

       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.

       status	   Displays a brief status report.  Similar to the  fullstatus
		   option,  except  that  the list of requests currently being
		   served is omitted.

       graceful	   Gracefully restarts the  Apache  daemon  by	sending	 it  a
		   SIGUSR1.   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 via	configtest  before  initiating
		   the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die.

       configtest  Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the config‐
		   uration files and either  reports  Syntax  Ok  or  detailed
		   information about the particular syntax error.

       help	   Displays a short help message.
