Apache 1.3.9 for MPE/iX
Apache can be restarted by issuing a kill -HUP. A restart will cause Apache to reread its
configuration files without having to stop and restream the Apache job stream file. Restart
is useful for making configuration changes without disrupting web users. After a restart,
Apache continues running with the new configuration settings.
To use kill requires the use of one of the following:
• Log on as WWW.APACHE
• Log on as MANAGER.SYS with MPELX36 installed (patch needed for Release 6.0 only)
• Log on as MGR.APACHE with MPELX51 installed (patch needed for Release 6.0 and
6.5)
To shut down Apache:
:ABORTJOB JHTTPD,WWW.APACHE
or
shell/iX>kill `cat /APACHE/PUB/logs/httpd.pid`
or
:xeq sh.hpbin.sys "-c 'kill `cat /APACHE/PUB/logs/httpd.pid`'"
To restart Apache:
shell/iX>kill -HUP `cat /APACHE/PUB/logs/httpd.pid`
or
:xeq sh.hpbin.sys "-c 'kill -HUP `cat /APACHE/PUB/logs/httpd.pid`'"
