I'm not sure if httpd -v
returns the running apache version loaded in memory or the latest installed How can I find which version is already running before restarting httpd? If indeed the above command returns the one loaded in memory how can I check which version is going to run upon restart?

http -v is going to give you the installed version. Your literally running the binary and asking it to tell you it's version. You can check the version of the running Apache from Apache Status in WHM. Normal cPanel upcp should be updating Apache.

Apache Status in WHM reports:

Server Version: Apache/2.4.41 (cPanel) OpenSSL/1.0.2t mod_bwlimited/1.4
Server MPM: worker
Server Built: Dec 25 2019 10:27:21

which is the same with httpd -v

All going to Apache status in WHM does is load the details of apachectl status
Which gives you the version of apache that is currently running. When a new version of Apache is installed a restart of the service is queued, if you're receiving that notice it's either that the restart didn't take place correctly or just hadn't yet. You're currently running the most current version of apache.
