Is this any good?
#! /bin/bash
# Bash script to perform a gracefull shutdown of apache web server
# called from /root/root-admin-scripts/databases/fedora-8-mysql/
# backup-mysql-databases.php
# DO NOT DELETE!
#------------------------------------------------------#
# seconds to wait for apache to shutdown
APACHE_GRACE_TIME=10
# output the current version of apache
apachectl -v
echo ""
# gracefully shut-down the apache web server
apachectl graceful-stop
echo "Shutting down Apache web server..."
echo "Waiting $APACHE_GRACE_TIME seconds for Apache web
server to finish..."
# wait for apache to shutdown properly
sleep $APACHE_GRACE_TIME
exit 0
#------------------------------------------------------#
I wanted to shutdown Apache so it was not updating MySQL
databases when the backup script ran ;)
