    Why on earth would you want to restart apache every hour?
    Anyway, apache has an apachectl command, and you can run 'apachectl graceful' to do a graceful restart (existing threads finish before restart). But once again, it's weird why you want to restart it.

    You want to open crontab by typing in:
    crontab -e
    Code (markup):
    You need to know the location of your httpd. here is what will go in the crontab:
    0 * * * * /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
    Code (markup):
    replace the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd to your path
