 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\&.
