Really? That'd be the right syntax for httpd, but not for apachectl. (Looking at apachectl, it looks like it'd just happen to work though.)

It works by design. It doesn't matter very much, but I'm trying to be consistent about using httpd-style arguments and not initv-style arguments, because it makes it much easier if the user needs to add other arguments in the future. For example, if the user discovers that he needs to use -D to make an <IfDefine> work, it is confusing to need to rethink the "start" as well. If you always use -k, then it just works.

I think this is well-documented at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/apachectl.html

Thanks.

Joshua.
