Re: Registration with a webserver - how to restart
Hi Sean,
Thanks for your comments, they pretty much agreed with what I was
thinking. Good to have confirmation that I'm not completely off the
track.

OK. These are great, I'll just copy them into my postinst etc for now
until the package makes it into unstable. I've added appropriate
comments noting that the functions are written by you as part of the
webapps-common package.

Sure, I've attached a patch to fix a bug in the wc_httpd_invoke
function. The function should operate on the list of running httpds, not
any supported httpd.
There is also a bug in wc_httpd_running that prevents it from detecting
that apache2 is running. This is due to apache2 being started with
command line options and the use of the -fx flags. See the following
situation.

Dropping -f and using commands such as pgrep -x apache, or pgrep -x
apache2 would seem to be the best option here.
Cheers
