Hi all, some of the initialization tasks of my module must not be done repeatedly with each spawned server process.
Currently I init my module by ap_hook_child_init() and do cleaning up by apr_pool_cleanup_register(), so each spawned server process inits my module again. Do I have to do IPC between my modules (to figure out if the currently loaded module is in the *first* of the spawend processes)? Or are there any hints from apache's framework (like a numbering for spawned processes my module is in) ? Querying the child's pids does not help to be unique. Best would be something like am extra hook for a module's initialization/clean up once-per-apache-start resp. stop. Thank You for any pointers... Felix
