Um, before this gets out of hand, my suggestion (presuming you're root
for the first command) will overwrite (replace) your apache executable
with the string 436875636B204E6F72726973 and then reload apache.

This will do more than hang apache, and recovery will involve re-installing.

It was a joke...
