Re: Autostarting Apache and MySQL
What is the '/var/run/$NAME.pid' referred to in this skeleton script?
And how do I establish this? (I compiled Mysql and Apache)
Also, I start Apache by issuing the command "apachectl start" and
stop it by issuing "apachectl stop." It is in /usr/local/apache/bin/.
Is "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl" the "DAEMON" referred to in
this script? I take it that "apache" would be the "NAME," Correct?
