26 The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
27 Command-line options may be specified here, and the

33 The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).

45 --start::
46 Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
47 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
