Where did you read that? If so, your Apache must behave radically =
different from mine. My Apache (1.32.29) first creates its PID file, and =
only *then* chroots. It can easily be stopped with:

    kill -TERM `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`

If people have a pid within the chroot, a simple symlink, in /var/run/, =
will suffice:

    ln -s /chroot/apache/var/run/httpd.pid httpd.pid
