When restarting services such as Apache and other daemons, it is really annoying when there are various binaries and configuration files on the system and each time I come to edit the configuration and restart the daemon, things mess up because I restart the wrong binary or edit the wrong configuration file.
This calls for a clear out of defunct binaries and configuration files to make life easier. Also to note is the fact to find the log of standard procedures and processes to follow when carrying out tasks like this.

Where I used to work, we always had a policy to only have two copies of the kernel in the lilo.conf file. The last one that was working, and the new one.
