[improvement] allow graceful-stop via the init.d script

[Kingsquare]

The apache2ctl allows more options than the current service/init.d script..

I would like to the see graceful-stop option included into the init.d script aswell:

        graceful-stop)
                if ! $APACHE2CTL configtest > /dev/null 2>&1; then
                    $APACHE2CTL configtest || true
                    log_end_msg 1
                    exit 1
                fi
                log_daemon_msg "Reloading web server config" "apache2"
                if pidof_apache > /dev/null ; then
                    if $APACHE2CTL graceful-stop $2 ; then
                        log_end_msg 0
                    else
                        log_end_msg 1
                    fi
                fi
        ;;

I just copied and pasted the graceful handling into a simple graceful-stop (this might be made more elegant... but i'm no real *nix devver)

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This looks like bug 456381, which has been addressed for at least Maverick onwards.

Can you please identify your Apache version ('dpkg -l apache2' will show it).

Thank you.

This was in fact fixed in Maverick, via Debian, as of 2.2.14-6:

  * Add new init script action graceful-stop (LP: #456381)
