<para><command>apachectl</command> is a front end to the Apache HyperText

Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the

<command>httpd</command> daemon.</para>

<para>The version of <command>apachectl</command> used on this

system is a replacement script intended to be mostly (but not

<emphasis>Apache httpd</emphasis>. This

effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This
