Thanks a lot for the answer. Would something like:

if [ -x /etc/init.d/apache2 ]; then
    if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        invoke-rc.d apache2 reload
    else
        /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
    fi
fi

be acceptable?

Hmmm, I am not sure to know how to test if the config was changed...

Have a nice day,
