Process HTTP Server Instance (HTTP)

The barebones approach to ending an Apache HTTP server is to use the ENDTCPSVR command. The ENDTCPSVR command has a default of *ALL for the SERVER parameter which can obviously shut down all TCP related services, making you very unpopular. For this reason we have created a command that can help you with your Apache HTTP server needs. The command is named “HTTP”. Simply type HTTP on the command line and select F4 to see the various options.
