I couldnt figure out all that case stuff so I made my own script
I tried to run the commented out version you sent but I was still getting
and error below is what i came up with


what do you think?


laptop# cat apache.sh

#!/bin/sh

if      [ -x /usr/local/sbin/apachectl ]
then     /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start > /dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
fi
if      [ -r /var/run/httpd.pid ]
then    /usr/local/sbin/apachectl stop > /dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
fi
laptop#
