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

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

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