I don't know; you can try it. If I were you, I'd test with the simple
"sleep" commands first... if those don't work, it's a safe bet that your
httpd restart won't either.

Ouch. Tough problem... wish I had a good answer for you.
Perhaps you could log the rpm output somewhere, and then have it mailed
back to you for "batch" analysis? Just a thought.... :-/
