Take a look at the implementation of apachectl (it's Bourne shell) for the finer details.
Also have a look at the httpd man page. The syntax contains the answer to your question:
httpd [ -d serverroot ] [ -f config ] [ -C directive ] [ -c directive ] [ -D parameter ] [ -e level ] [ -E file ] [ -k start|restart|graceful|stop ] [ -R directory ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -L ] [ -S ] [ -t ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -X ]
-ascs

That I did not know. I'm guessing the "-k" option prevents that?
Thanks.
