Right. And you wouldn't be able to stop it in the first place, unless youre system was so insecure that Apache ran as a privileged user. >So I guess my question gets cut down to basically "any good place/program >to learn/use SSH?" I think that learning SSH isn't really what you're after - you want to learn how to use the command line interface, which is a whole different thing (SSH is just the intermediary program you use to access the remote machine). It depends on the shell you're using, the operating system you're on, the location of Apache binaries, your $PATH, and a wide range of other factors. In the normal case (unix OS, you have sudo or root permissions, and everything is within your path) it's a simple one-liner, like so: sudo apachectl graceful -mike. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
