[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#895237: certbot: Stop/start Apache using systemctl instead of apachectl

[Jan Heitkötter]

Package: certbot
Version: 0.21.1-1~bpo9+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

on certificate renewal certbot will stop Apache and start it afterwards. 
The relevant commands are pre_hook and post_hook in 
/etc/letsencrypt/renewal/CERTNAME.conf.

Default behaviour is do stop/start Apache using apachectl which fails in 
installations running systemd. Apache will stop, but not start again.

Fix: use systemctl to start/stop Apache.

Regards

Jan
