Most of our web services are java and done by another group now, but
when I was more involved and using mod_perl I'd start it that way
regularly to be able to run a single instance where I could debug
execution. It's not something unexpected.
Not unexpected but also not an everyday task for the majority of users.
I'm sure prepending /sbin/ to your command og modding your env to
include /sbin in your path would be okay in situations like this.
The fact that a few ppl think some particular config is the best,
doesn't automatically mean that everybody else thinks so too.
