<para><command>apachectl</command> is a front end to the Apache HyperText
|
|
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the
|
|
administrator control the functioning of the Apache
|
|
<command>httpd</command> daemon.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>apachectl</command> script takes one-word arguments like
|
|
<option>start</option>,
|
|
<option>restart</option>, and
|
|
<option>stop</option>, and translates them
|
|
into appropriate signals to <command>httpd</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>apachectl</command> script returns a 0 exit value on
|
|
success, and >0 if an error occurs.</para>

<para>The version of <command>apachectl</command> used on this
|
|
system is a replacement script intended to be mostly (but not
|
|
completely) compatible with version provided with
|
|
<emphasis>Apache httpd</emphasis>. This
|
|
<command>apachectl</command> mostly acts as a wrapper around
|
|
<command>systemctl</command> and manipulates the
|
|
<command>systemd</command> service for <command>httpd</command>.
|
|
The interface to the <emphasis>Apache</emphasis> version of
|
|
<command>apachectl</command> is described at <ulink
|
|
url="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/apachectl.html"/>.</para>

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
