  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The apachectl stop command makes a getaddrinfo library call.
  If the z/OS resolver is down, this call will fail.  This was
  assumed to be a fatal error, so the apachectl stop command
  aborted.
  

Problem conclusion

• If this getaddrinfo call fails, IBM HTTP Server will log the
  error codes and continue processing the apachectl command.
