           Summary: /etc/init.d/apache2 greps excessively for PidFile
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.0-HEAD
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/apache2/+bug/11
                    2991
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nvalcarcel@ubuntu-pe.org


/etc/init.d/apache2 does a "grep ^PidFile /etc/apache2/* -r". It is not uncommon
for there to exist a symlink from /etc/apache2/logs to /var/log/apache2: this
causes that invocation of grep to scan through all of Apache's log files. On my
web server there are several gigabytes of these, causing "/etc/init.d/apache2
stop" during shutdown to take a very long time.

I suggest not following symlinks, for starters, using something like this
instead perhaps:

find /etc/apache2/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep ^PidFile

Or ideally being more intelligent about which files to look at, e.g. *.conf...

/etc/init.d/apache2 is not part of the original httpd. It was created by your
httpd distributor most likely your Linux distributor. Please open a bug report
at your Linux distributor.
