restart string without rebooting! What's the command?

[npereira]

I re-installed apache and i was wondering what the command is to kill the ID process and re-initiate the strings??

Is there a way to find out what apache's process ID was so i can kill it without rebooting???

[mangeli]

For apache its:
Stopping:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

Starting:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Just replace the /usr/local/apache/bin part with the location of you apache/bin folder.

no!

That is not what i mean....

I have deleted the folder "/usr/local/apache"

Now i am re-installing it. somewhere it said to "kill Process ID"

What is the command for this and how do i find out the Process ID list of all programs initiated at boot up???

Sorry if this was'nt explained properly!

is it apachectl graceful ?

You want to type either "ps aux" into the console, or "top". both will tell you the PIDs of running processes.

Killall httpd

will kill all the instances of httpd that you have running. (Though you should have stoped them before you deleted the folder.)
