[wellylug] Re: apache2ctl vs apache2 restart

[Sigurd Magnusson]

I proved "apache2ctl graceful" reopen the files, which you can see with 
 my test below.
 Thanks guys for all the prompt info.
 I found /etc/init.d/apache2 is a wrapper for apache2ctl and apache2 
 depending on some complex if statements, which to my mind look a bit 
 flakey :P
