First, sorry if I'm in the slightly wrong issue here. The most recent comment before mine fits our situation perfectly and wasn't old, so I think it's an acceptable place for this discussion.
> So we have a regression when `apache2ctl graceful` is called directly, which I think it's still a common thing I agreed. 'common thing' is more than true: apachectl resp. apache2ctl were here before init systems started to support 'reload', and propably before Debian's 'service' wrapper around several supported init systems. Hence 1. long-term admins are almost hard-wired to call apache2ctl directly 2. many many scripts do so 3. many many how-to guides, readmes, ..., do so too IMO the 'restart' and 'graceful' branch in apache2ctl should be split up. But I haven't investiagtes why graceful -> restart might make sense in the first place.
