in reply to Getting Apache Version

I'd probably first scan the machine for apachectl or apache2ctl and when found, launch it with a '-v' flag. That'll show you information like (two random test servers):

$ apachectl -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (FreeBSD)
Server built:   May 18 2008 17:19:41

and

$ apache2ctl -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built:   Mar 22 2008 09:29:10

Easy enough to parse that, I assume ;-)
