Just one of the little ways, too many to actually list, that cPanel's
"let's just go in and replace all the system with our kludgly workalikes"
policy infuriates me sometimes.
[roam@web ~]> ls -l /usr/sbin/httpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 18 2006 /usr/sbin/httpd -> /usr/local/apach=
e/bin/apachectl
[roam@web ~]>
Okay, so it's replaced httpd with something... else...
[roam@web ~]> sudo apachectl graceful
apachectl: Configuration syntax error, will not run "graceful":
usage: /usr/sbin/httpd (start|stop|restart|fullstatus|status|graceful|confi=
gtest|help)
start - start httpd
startssl - start httpd with SSL enabled
stop - stop httpd
restart - restart httpd if running by sending a SIGHUP or start if
not running
fullstatus - dump a full status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled
status - dump a short status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabl=
ed
graceful - do a graceful restart by sending a SIGUSR1 or start if not run=
ning
configtest - do a configuration syntax test
help - this screen

Uhm. Like. Wha?
Just on a whim:
[roam@web ~]> sudo httpd graceful
/usr/sbin/httpd graceful: httpd gracefully restarted
[roam@web ~]>
Okay... fine... or something... but... but... but...
[roam@web ~]> ls -l /usr/sbin/apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3719 Aug 31 2005 /usr/sbin/apachectl
[roam@web ~]>
This one was not even replaced. Yet it *thinks* it's called "httpd",
and it doesn't want to acknowledge one of the options it has itself
advertised (cue Smylers's recent DenyHosts rant). While the thing
that calls itself "httpd" does apachectl's job Just Fuckin' Fine.
A maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
G'luck,
Peter

Thit sentence is not self-referential because "thit" is not a word.
