Is the fact that it doesn't use "apachectl" to start true of all the
apache configs that come bundled with Fedora ? 

Reason being is that I never use the apache that comes with the distro.
I generally like to compile, build and install and configure Apache from
scratch. I call it "scratchy Apache".  When I create  the startup scrips
I  set them to use apachectl. Is that okay or does the distro do it a
better  way ??
