I decided to do prefork first, since it seems the more complicated out
of the MPM's to stop gracefully. I've tested locally, using
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/plain"
echo
while true; do
sleep 1
date
done
as my ultra-sophisticated long-lived download, however I would be amazed
if running two instances of httpd concurrently does not break some
things (esp third party modules which use some kind of lockfile or
on-disk state). So, heads up there on any trunk-runners.
I'm going to add yet more documentation to stopping.xml, to describe
those kind of issues.
