Thanks for your suggestion. This has been brought up before.
It has been rejected each time, because apachectl is supposed to be just
a simple shell script. (Admittedly, it has gotten more and more complicated
over time.) What it needs to know about configuration should be either
provided at compile time, or manually provided by the administrator. It should
be thought of more as an example than as the be-all and end-all of apache
management.
Your solution fails not only in the obvious case where httpd.conf is moved,
but also in the case where Include (or ResourceConfig or AccessConfig) is used
to bring in other configuration files.
We prefer to keep the dumb solution that will fail in obvious ways, rather
than the fancier solution that could fail in subtle ways.
A better solution would be to port the httpd command line options that are
used in windows to signal a running server to shutdown or restart. httpd
knows everything about the configuration, and is therefore in a much better
position than a shell script to do this work.
Thanks again.
