This being a shell script, it's not trivial to parse apache2.conf, particularly its Include directives. If you've got shell code that gets this right (accounting for wildcards and whole directories), we might consider using it. > More importantly, some servers have lots of BIG log file in > /etc/apache2/logs, left over from an earlier standard, and all of > those log files are searched entirely for lines begining with > PidFile. Oh my. I wonder where those came from. Debian has been using the FHS (and thus using /var/log by default) much longer than we have been shipping apache2. I suspect your installation is rather atypical. I'm downgrading this bug. It's a real bug - our search for a PidFile directive is certainly crude - but I don't know how much better we can do in a shell script. Thanks, Peter
