Erm, well if it works then hey, but I'd be a little surprised if it did.
The case stuff you left out is the start and stop signal. Basically you
just want to remove the if statement at the top and put the path in
yourself to replace the ${PREFIX} throughout the script. It's not the
prettiest solution I admit but it should work.
It means you're basically just doing the search for where apachectl is
by yourself. If you still have trouble after that then you need more
help than I can manage. :-)
Kevin,
kludgey but working :-)
