You say "... I am not using the webserver ..." Eh? It is the clients on the WWW who use the webserver - or do you mean that it is not connected to the internet? To be clear, what I'm wondering is whether someone has written a script somewhere which is causing a restart when it gets requested. This is why I asked if apache is started as root. If not, then a CGI script may be able to issue a restart directly. Howver, even if apache is started as root, the CGi could touch a file somewhere and if make were running on the root crontab with the touch file as a dependency it could make a restart (this is a common ploy to restart automatically after some file has been touched).
