I am writing a bash file. I need to start apachectl from my bash file. so i wrote:
apachectl start
When I run it with root, an error occurred:
apachectl: command not found
I searched and I found that, I should be super user with su - not su
Now, I want to know:
why this error occurred?
How could i run it with
su?

The command not found error is because “apachectl” is not in your path. Simply use the full path of the command, e.g.
/etc/init.d/apachectl start
If you get a permission denied error, then you need to run as a different user. That is a different problem though.
