+.PP
+When acting in pass-through mode, \fBapachectl\fR can take all the arguments available for the httpd binary\&.

+When acting in SysV init mode, \fBapachectl\fR takes simple, one-word commands, defined below\&.

+
+.SH "SUMMARY"
+ 
+.PP
+\fBapachectl\fR 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 httpd daemon\&.
+ 
+.PP
+The \fBapachectl\fR script can operate in two modes\&. First, it can act as a simple front-end to the httpd command that simply sets any necessary environment variables and then invokes httpd, passing through any command line arguments\&. Second, \fBapachectl\fR can act as a SysV init script, taking simple one-word arguments like \fBstart\fR, \fBrestart\fR, and \fBstop\fR, and translating them into appropriate signals to httpd\&.
+ 
+.PP
+If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the \fBapachectl\fR script to set the appropriate paths to the httpd binary\&. You can also specify any necessary httpd command line arguments\&. See the comments in the script for details\&.
+ 
+.PP
+The \fBapachectl\fR script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs\&. For more details, view the comments in the script\&.
+ 
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+ 
+.PP
+Only the SysV init-style options are defined here\&. Other arguments are defined on the httpd manual page\&.
+ 
+ 
+.TP
+\fBstart\fR
+Start the Apache httpd daemon\&. Gives an error if it is already running\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -k start\fR\&.  
+.TP
+\fBstop\fR
+Stops the Apache httpd daemon\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -k stop\fR\&.  
+.TP
+\fBrestart\fR
+Restarts the Apache httpd daemon\&. If the daemon is not running, it is started\&. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in \fBconfigtest\fR before initiating the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't die\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -k restart\fR\&.  
+.TP
+\fBfullstatus\fR
+Displays a full status report from mod_status\&. For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled on your server and a text-based browser such as \fBlynx\fR available on your system\&. The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the \fBSTATUSURL\fR variable in the script\&.  
+.TP
+\fBstatus\fR
+Displays a brief status report\&. Similar to the \fBfullstatus\fR option, except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted\&.  
+.TP
+\fBgraceful\fR
+Gracefully restarts the Apache httpd daemon\&. If the daemon is not running, it is started\&. This differs from a normal 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 automatically checks the configuration files as in \fBconfigtest\fR before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -k graceful\fR\&.  
+.TP
+\fBgraceful-stop\fR
+Gracefully stops the Apache httpd daemon\&. This differs from a normal stop in that currently open connections are not aborted\&. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -k graceful-stop\fR\&.  
+.TP
+\fBconfigtest\fR
+Run a configuration file syntax test\&. It parses the configuration files and either reports \fBSyntax Ok\fR or detailed information about the particular syntax error\&. This is equivalent to \fBapachectl -t\fR\&.  
+ 
+.PP
+The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed\&.
+ 
+ 
+.TP
+\fBstartssl\fR
+To start httpd with SSL support, you should edit your configuration file to include the relevant directives and then use the normal \fBapachectl start\fR\&.
