man crontab, with special reference to /etc/crontab, which is
special and lets you specify accountnames for processes started
by it.

If you installed it from the ports, it should have copied a file 'apache.sh'
into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ . As with every file ending in .sh in this
directory, the system will attempt to run it with an argument of 'start' at
boot time, and an argument of 'stop' on shutdown. (If you didn't, you'll
need to look for apache.sh or its equivalent in the archive you downloaded.)

Quote:> 2.And may I specify account under which it will be running?

Sure you may. This is straight from httpd.conf:

---
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
---

The two directives you will want to look up are 'User' and 'Group', both
of which live in httpd.conf.

Unless you plan on maybe restarting Apache regularly with cron (!) that
may not be the best way. httpd.conf has directives for specifying the
user and group to run as.

Startup is typically in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh

Quote:>2.And may I specify account under which it will be running?

It's in the httpd.conf/apache.conf file. With directions.

The cron system doesn't start apache. The user under which apache
is to run is specified in the configuration file.
