Re: Detecting graceful restart -> wacky $$

[Javier Alvarado]

Never mind. It was a mistake on my part. I was setting it with 
push_handler() in my startup.pl, so of course it didn't persist. Once I 
switched to setting it in the httpd.conf it was called on every restart, 
graceful or not.

Now I'm having a different problem. In my restart handler I print out 
the PID using a simple 'warn "pid = $$\n". I was expecting it would 
print out the PID of the parent (listener) Apache process, but the PID 
that is printed does not exist in the process table, and is in fact the 
real Apache parent PID - 1. Getting the PID with POSIX::getpid produces 
the same result.

I'm baffled by this. Can anyone shed any light?

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to hook into Apache
graceful restarts?
I tried PerlRestartHandler, but it doesn't seem to get
called. I see it called when I do apachectl startssl,
but not apachectl restart nor apachectl graceful.
None of the documentation I've found mentions wheter
it gets called only for plain restarts or for graceful
restarts also.
Thanks!
