Re: stopping and starting daemons...

["Strahl, Klaus" <strahl lps umontreal ca>]

Hi P,
try "ps aux" to see all the processes running, however deamons are better 
restarted using the approriate scripts in /etc/rc.d/.... They also take 
care of proper configurations, locks etc.....
The appropriate command would be 
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd [stop|start|status|restart]
to stop, start, see the status or restart the httpd respectively.
Good luck,
                          Klaus
