In my specific case, do I really need thread-level locking in addition to process-level locking? Since I am running a background thread that is started in post_config(), worker-threads in the mpm worker model are running in a different process then my background thread anyway. So I guess process-level locking should suffice, or am I overlooking something? Thank you, Andrej
