Check whether the 'killall' or 'skill' commands have been installed on
your system.  Check the manual pages.  You should be aboe to do one of
these [assuming that the information about 'httpd' renamed to 'apache2'
is correct]:
        killall -HUP apache2
        skill -HUP -c apache2
and then:
        cd /
        /etc/init.d/apache2 start


It looks like 'killall' is in the "psmisc" package, if you don't have it
installed.

I will add my voice to the rising choir saying, find out why the thing
disappears before everything goes.  ;-)  What do you mean, you use your
own daemon?  Do you mean, your own shell script to start the daemon?
