It most likely came from the OS itself, indirectly through you. If you 
restarted your services manually, or made changes to your configuration that 
required a restart, this would have happened.

No, SIGUSR1 doesn't restart it completely, it simply reloads the processes, 
so configuration changes are loaded by the apache process.

Unless it happened completely out of the blue, I doubt it. If you made any 
changes to your sites that require a reload of Apache, like adding web server 
aliases, etc. this is normal. If you haven't been anywhere near the control 
panel, it might be an idea to check the logs and verify some of your RPM's. 
(Type 'man rpm' at the command line.)
