Bug#359008: apache2ctl usage message should not be the same as /usr/sbin/apache2's
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.53-5
Severity: minor
File: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
*)
$HTTPD $ARGV
is not good enough. E.g.,
# apache2ctl 2>&1| grep -i status
doesn't show the status options as seen on the man page.
The user thinks "huh, usage different from man page?!"
Also, for the status commands, one needs e.g.,
# apache2ctl status|sed /^$/d
or else one gets a face full of interleaved useless blank lines.
