Bug#301702: more info on apache2 logrotate
tag 301702 + patch
thanks
Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-3.1
Apache's documentation [1] recommends to do a graceful restart because
"the server can be instructed to open new log files without losing any
existing or pending connections from clients" and doing a normal
restart losses conections from clients and may not come up if there is
a configuration problem.
This graceful restart is done by /etc/init.d/apache2 reload, but doing
this with invoke-rc.d would save as the pid check and also avoid
uneeded restarts from apache (which may happends in the case of a
stale pid file)
