whould someone please tell me what will happend when I use Reload for httpd Service in Service Monitor page and also is there any way (for example a command) to this manually (without useing DA)

FC3 is running in my server ...

Thanks alot
 
thanks again ...

In most of times, the free memory of my server is very low, (there is just 50MB or less! free memory from 512MB at most of times) and when I use the function it cause that the free memory increase to 300MB or more! is it good that I create a Cron Job to run the command one time in every day !?
 
best solution is to get more ram. 512 isn't really enough for a decently busy web server.

but yeah it's not a big deal to have a cron to reload apache, however if yuo just want to do that a more appropriate command is

service httpd restart

This will do the same thing, reload reloads the entire config file so no need for that.
 
There are differences between reload and restart; see man httpd.

Most importantly, restart will close all open sessions.
