Apache2 on Ubuntu: I don't have installed apachectl

I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.04 and I've installed Apache2 on it.

I want to restart my Apache gracefully but I only can restarting it using this command:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And if I'm not wrong it doesn't have graceful option parameter.

I don't have this command installed:

apachectl

thanks

Update

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 graceful
 * Usage: /etc/init.d/apache2 {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|start-htcacheclean|stop-htcacheclean|status}

On Ubuntu apachectl is /usr/sbin/apache2ctl


/etc/init.d/apache2 accepts graceful parameter. reload parameter does the same. You can use either:

/etc/init.d/apache2 graceful

or

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

to pass graceful parameter to apache2ctl

Edit:

It exists. look at source of /etc/init.d/apache2:

graceful | reload | force-reload)
    if ! $APACHE2CTL configtest > /dev/null 2>&1; then
                $APACHE2CTL configtest || true
                log_end_msg 1
                exit 1
            fi
            log_daemon_msg "Reloading web server config" "apache2"
    if pidof_apache > /dev/null ; then
                if $APACHE2CTL graceful $2 ; then
                    log_end_msg 0
                else
                    log_end_msg 1
                fi
            fi
