NAME

httpd_ctl - An apache 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 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. See http://www.template-toolkit.org/ to read about Template Toolkit in full.
