>Description:

The current /etc/rc.d/apache script (provided by apache2 and apache22 packages)
can not be used to restart the httpd daemon.

>How-To-Repeat:

# pkg_info | grep apache
apache-2.2.9nb4     Apache HTTP (Web) server, version 2
ap22-php5-5.2.6nb1  Apache (apache22) module for PHP5

# ps axw | grep http
 4837 ?      I    0:00.01 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start 
 7104 ?      I    0:00.26 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start 
 8623 ?      I    0:00.13 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start

27539 ?      I    0:00.05 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start 
29464 ?      I    0:00.14 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start 
 6845 ttyp1  S+   0:00.00 grep http 

# /etc/rc.d/apache restart
Stopping apache.
Starting apache.
httpd (pid 26937) already running

# ps axw | grep http
# 

>Fix:

A simple "sleep 1" in the startup script is needed as the following
works fine for me. Just to be safe, maybe "sleep 3" should be used
so that this works even on old/slow hosts...

# /etc/rc.d/apache stop; sleep 1; /etc/rc.d/apache start
