Start/Stop apache using shell script

I am trying to start/stop apache 2.2, 开发者_Python百科using shell script. At present I am using: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

If there is a way to start it: ./StartApache.sh start

Thanks in advance.

Why not use the official way - the apachectl script? You can write your own script that invokes the official script, but why bother? And you certainly don't want it in your current directory - you have lots of directories, don't you? You might add your script to a directory on your PATH (such as $HOME/bin, assuming you have that directory and it appears on your PATH); you might simply add a symbolic link to a directory on your PATH that points at the official script.

If you must do it, then:

cd $HOME/bin &&
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl ./Apache

Now you can do:

./Apache start
./Apache stop
./Apache restart

when you're in your $HOME/bin directory, and (more usually) just:

Apache start
Apache stop
Apache restart

without any path specified, so the shell finds the script for you. Of course, you could also simply add /usr/local/apache/bin to your PATH and use apachectl directly.
