Thanks Torsten,
Yes, I know I should be expected 2 calls. I followed the script in the
link you gave me, and the result is quite interesting. When I start the
Apache service, I get:
1
2
1
2
I know I should be expecting just
1
2
But the fact is I've got all 4 of them. See what happens when I go a
graceful:
3
1
2
Why 3 appears before 1 and 2 is beyond me. Is it called the the Apache kill?

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of having Apache+modperl (not much modperl used) start up
services when Apache starts up. I did a simple test with PerlRequire and
I notice that at startup, the script is run 3 times. But I can possibly
start the same service (or run 3 instances of the service as some of
them are command-line programs) 3 times. I tried to flock a file as a
control measure, but it seems that in Windows/ ActivePerl, flock() does
not really work. I also tried another dirty trick, which is to check for
presence of a dummy lock file. If the file is present, then skip the
service startup. Also did not work.
I am out of ideas. Any one did this before?
Have a look at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/ServerUtil.html#C_restart_count_
I don't know why your script runs thrice. Twice is is normal.
