I guess I don't see: start) stop) graceful) restart) httpd -k $1 ;; startssl) httpd -DSSL -k start ;; or whatever the syntax is for #2 alone as very complex. The complexity to which I was referring was that right now apachectl has to know where the PID file is, read the PID file, kill that pid, etc, etc. I'll just say +0 to #3. --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA
