Use `at` to schedule it a minute in the future -- effectively forking it.
Yes, also thought of that but the smallest unit of 'at' is minutes and
I want to restart the server immediately.
Note that
In fact, I'm using 'killall httpd', which effectively kills every httpd
process. The drawback is that you need /proc available and that it may kill
httpd's belonging to another Apache.
But afrer all, you can always write awk script that would parse ps output
and do exactly what you want.
Egor.

Thanks, I made it a bit more simple:
use POSIX;
if (! fork) { # child
setsid;
POSIX::close(0);
POSIX::close(1);
exec(restart-apache-command);
}
Works great!
Thanks,
Dirk

Can I call something like a reload of httpd.conf?
This is what sending a SIGHUP to Apache does. However, both mod_perl-enabled
servers I run misbehave on this, so I always do a full restart.
Egor.

Note that normally apache starts as root and runs as an unprivileged
user. If this is the case you _can_ achieve it using a suid wrapper or
sudo, but you'll
Why not start the Apache from a shell script that would always start it
again if it dies?
To restart the Apache then, you'd just kill the root httpd with apachectl.
Killing the paernt shell script would terminate the whole operation.
