The function gracefulstop in '/etc/init.d/apache2 doesn't work correctely. The openrc status in '/run/openrc' will not be removed. $> ~ # /etc/init.d/apache gracefulstop * Gracefully stopping apache ... [ ok ] $> ~ # /etc/init.d/apache status * status: crashed $> ~ # /etc/init.d/apache start * WARNING: apache has already been started $> ~ # /etc/init.d/apache zap * Manually resetting apache to stopped state $> ~ # /etc/init.d/apache start * Starting apache ... [ ok ] The function gracefulstop should work like function stop.
