Apache Fail.

[manipulate]

Hola SF.

I have a VPS that I'm currently running CentOS on (and of course Apache for a HTTPd), I don't exactly monitor it seeing as I only host a few sites on it and monitoring is a pain. I went to my blog just then to grab a link for someone and Apache was dead...I just did 'service httpd start' and it didn't complain about it already running or anything like that and it was functioning perfectly after the [re?]start - I looked at the logs anyway.

[...normal 404s.etc]

So yea...service sent a SIGHUP but I've never seen Apache do anything like this (Apache has never died on me before) - does anyone have any idea as to why this happened; just curious.
