NAME httpd_ctl - An apache httpd control script that supports Template Toolkit pre-processing SYNOPSIS httpd_ctl [--all|-a] [--batch|-b] [--conf_file|-f *httpd.conf file*] [--debug|-d] [--help|-h] [--man|-m] [--template|-t] (start|stop|coldrestart|restart|graceful|configtest)+ DESCRIPTION An apache httpd control script that supports Template Toolkit pre-processing OPTIONS --conf_file|-f *httpd.conf file* If file extension is .tt automatically implies --template --debug|-d prints debug messages --help|-h prints out usage information and exits --httpd_opt|-o *options* A quoted string specifying any additional options to pass through to the httpd. --man|-m produces man page --template|-t Requires the --conf_file file to be processed by Template Toolkit. The processed file will be placed in the same directory . This allows you to do things like environment variable substitution: [% USE env = EnvHash %] [% env.MY_LOG_DIR %] It is that simple! But, remember you can do much more powerful things with Template Toolkit, and use variables in control structures such as if, for, foreach and so on.
