Related to the other thread. I don't see a hook that can be used to get something going before the fork. How can I get the server to do something for me before the fork? I think I can do what I need from the children by getting the parent_process and using its pool, but I'd like to do it only once, and have it stored where the children can get at it, like having a ptr in each server config to the shm location. BTW its already using shm and semaphores, but its outside of Apache. I'd like to move it to within Apache to eliminate a clumsy external dependency. I'd like the shm init stuff to occur once, when the server starts, and before any children are forked.
