. $startApache wrong syntax?
Hi All,

why doesn't this code start apache at boot?

Cheers.

startApache=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
if [ -f "$startApache" ] ; then
. $startApache
fi

Code:
startApache="/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start"
if [ -f "$startApache" ] ; then
. $startApache
fi

OR

Code:
action=start
apache="/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl"
if [ -f "$apache" ] ; then
. $apache $action
fi

Hi All,

the 1st one didn't work, but the 2nd one did. Why wouldn't the 1st one work? Cheers.
