Hello,

I have some understanding of how the script works, but I'm not sure what
it's asking for.

[09:37][root@interim:/usr/local/etc/rc.d]# ls
apache.sh*
[09:37][root@interim:/usr/local/etc/rc.d]# ./apache.sh start
./apache.sh: Cannot determine the PREFIX

That's what I get.  The following will be the contents of apache.sh:

#!/bin/sh

if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
    echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
    exit 1
fi

case "$1" in
start)
        [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl start >
/dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
        ;;
stop)
        [ -r /var/run/httpd.pid ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl stop >
/dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        ;;
esac

exit 0

Can someone please help?  If I type apachectl as I usually have done in
Linux, it works, but now this is asking me for something.  Can someone
please help?
