To customize the # behaviour, run "systemctl edit httpd" to create an override unit. # For example, to pass additional options (such as -D definitions) to # the httpd binary at startup, create an override unit (as is done by # systemctl edit) and enter the following: # [Service] # Environment=OPTIONS=-DMY_DEFINE [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server Wants=httpd-init.service After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target httpd-init.service Documentation=man:httpd.service(8) [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true OOMPolicy=continue [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
