what if the hardware checking thread is in a process external to Apache
and, if needed, runs a orderly shutdown of the webserver by running a
shell procedure?
This would leave the option for automatically restarting the webserver
in case of a transitory hardware problem.

Do you know how to do this ?

Hello,
I start a thread during the post_config which checks the state of the hardware
machine.
If something goes wrong, this thread has to stop the Apache server.
Is it possible ?
For now, I am only able to kill the root process and I have to duplicate this
thread on each child in order to let them kill themselves.
I hope there is a better way to stop (or kill) all the processes.
(This should work in prefork or in worker mode under linux).
Thank you,
Nicolas.
