I'd like to have a single command that'll restart Apache on any *nix OS. Currently I'm working with Ubuntu, which has

  • /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
  • /usr/sbin/service
  • no apachectl
  • no httpd

and Scientific Linux CERN 5, which has

  • /usr/sbin/apachectl
  • /etc/init.d/httpd
  • no apache2ctl
  • no service

I'd like to avoid using a hack like which service 2>/dev/null || which /etc/init.d/httpd
