apache graceful stop

Hello,

I am looking for a way of stopping apache gracefully. By gracefully I
mean stopping all incomming connections and allowing all child
processes to complete their transactions before stopping.

I know this can be done with a restart, but i need to be able to do it
with stop.

Any takers?

graceful)
if [ $RUNNING -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd not running, trying to start"
if $HTTPD ; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd started"
else
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd could not be started"
ERROR=5
fi
else
if $HTTPD -t >/dev/null 2>&1; then
if kill -USR1 $PID ; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd gracefully restarted"
else
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd could not be restarted"
ERROR=7

it's in the apachectl script
