But look more carefully at the script fragment I wrote in the previous
message: I want to do something different between "restart" and
"graceful" ...

  restart:   before sending the signal to httpd, clean up some
             subdirectories under /tmp that are used in certain web apps
             on my site; and only _then_ send the signal to httpd (do
             this before "start", also, but that's a trivial case)

  graceful:  just send the signal to httpd and _do_ _not_ clean up any
             directories, because in apache, a "graceful" restart keeps
             connections open, etc., and I don't want existing
             data to be lost
             
How do I cause my /tmp directories to get cleaned up during "restart",
but not during "graceful"?
