#!/bin/sh
# This script allows reloading of apache configuration by other
# users without granting them sudo access to apachectl. Also, 
# the latter is not possible because of the modular nature of
# apache on this machine. This script check if a particular
# file is present. Built for nxb-es...
#
# Use a cronjob as root:
# * * * * * /root/script/reload_apache /home/tomcat/reload_apache 2>&1
