The project this is for has apache's sandboxed for each developer. Every developer runs their own apache on a port number based on their UID. By having apache fork the watcher daemon, I don't have to worry about which apache the watcher is in charge of. Also, apache will kill the watcher when apache is killed, so I do not need to manage the watcher daemon at all. Apache takes care of starting and stopping it for me. Regards, Michael Schout
