Okay, so this looks like the place to register some type of "wake up" callback
on exit.
fcgid_proc_unix.c
apr_status_t
proc_spawn_process(char *lpszwapper, fcgid_proc_info * procinfo,
fcgid_procnode * procnode)
.
.
.
/* Unlink it when process exit */
if (ap_unixd_config.suexec_enabled) {
apr_pool_cleanup_register(procnode->proc_pool,
procnode, socket_file_cleanup,
exec_setuid_cleanup);
} else {
apr_pool_cleanup_register(procnode->proc_pool,
procnode, socket_file_cleanup,
apr_pool_cleanup_null);
}
.
.
.
And this is what we would want to wake up:
fcgid_pm_main.c
apr_status_t pm_main(server_rec * main_server, apr_pool_t * configpool)
{
.
.
/* Wait for command */
if (procmgr_peek_cmd(&command, main_server) == APR_SUCCESS) {
if (is_spawn_allowed(main_server, &command))
fastcgi_spawn(&command, main_server, configpool);
procmgr_finish_notify(main_server);
}
.
.
.
What you think?
