Soft apache stopping

Hi all,

I search how I can stop an apache server, after active connection were
close. The goal is to not accept new connection, wait active one
finished and stop the server for running a maintenance script and after
restart the server.

If someone have a good idea...

You're looking for the graceful flag to apachectl"

'apachectl graceful'

Or 'apachectl graceful-stop' as I'm not 100% sure on what you plan on
doing.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html#graceful
apachectl -k graceful-stop
or for less recent versions
apachectl -k graceful

Those act the same but when setting
GracefulShutDownTimeout
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...hutdowntimeout

I have read it but graceful flag doesn't do what I want. graceful
restart the server but I want to stop it for running scripts.
Graceful-stop doesn't work on my server (RedHat Enterprise 3, apache
2.0.46).
I think what i want is the graceful-stop but nothing in the manpage and
command doesn't work.
Is someone know when this command appear on apachectl ?

thanks for help me.

Yes, it seems as Apache 2.0 doesn't support 'apachectl graceful-stop'
something you may want to try is something like: 'apachectl graceful
&& apachectl stop' and that will probably be the cleanest way to stop
apache.

In fact i try apachectl graceful && apachectl stop but it doesn't work.
I think is beacause the apachectl graceful seem to work in background
and is not blocking, so the stop occure before the graceful.

If someone have an other idea...
