Still, I don't get it. We do have 'apachectl' for customers who are 
migrating from non Solaris world and 'svcadm' for regular Solaris 10 
administrators. These two are distinct and different ways to start / 
stop the servers. Why should we create this wrapper , document it. and 
introduce another new way to manage the server ?

Yes, I can understand , if we patch apachectl script so that it 
internally uses svcadm to start/stop the server. This way, both 
apachectl and svcadm will give a consistent behavior and using one will 
automatically reflect in the other.
