Re: Restarting Apache without screwing up running scripts?

Wow! I didn't know that. I have been using apachectl restart all the time. Now I feel better that this feature will allow Apache to be running until people logged off of the website (by the mean of terminating the apache connection).... Thanks!!!

If the daemon is not run­ ning, it is started. This differs from a nor­ mal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them. This command automat­ ically checks the configuration files via con­ figtest before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die.
