I've found that 'svc apache restart' (svc is my wrapper script for the
init.d scripts) doesn't help most of the time; I added a manual
'bounce' option.

 ===
#!/bin/bash
# service helper script

# go to the directory
cd /etc/init.d

# if no argument, list services and exit
[ $# = 0 ] && ls && exit 0

# must exist (no longer check executable, since root will be able to run it)
[ -f $1 ] || { echo "$1: no such service" && exit 1; }

# if we're not root, fix it
[ $UID = 0 ] || exec su root -c "$0 $*"

# run the actual script
SCRIPT=$1
shift

case $1 in
        on)
                ./$SCRIPT start
                echo "Enabling $SCRIPT..."
                chkconfig $SCRIPT on
                exit 0
                ;;
        off)
                ./$SCRIPT stop
                echo "Disabling $SCRIPT..."
                chkconfig $SCRIPT off
                exit 0
                ;;
        bounce) ./$SCRIPT stop
                ./$SCRIPT start
                exit 0
                ;;
        *)      ./${SCRIPT} $*
                ;;
