> The basic problem is this:
>
> Our apache server will not start if there are system
> processes running that were spawned from apache's last
> invocation (ie. spawned from cgi's, mod_php system() calls,
> etc.). It dies with "cannot bind to ip_address_here port 80", etc.
>

> Example:
>
> We restart our servers every so often via crontab in order to
> reload modified conf files, etc. However it appears that if
> a user has spawned a process from mod_php, cgi, etc. that the
> server will not restart until those processes are killed off
> manually.
>
> The worst cases are when badly wrote user scripts allow an
> attacker to upload scripts that bind to a port and attempt to
> make network access, etc. (I would love to disallow users
> from having uploads to the server but
> that is not currently an option).
>
> Does anyone have any suggestion on how to automagically kill
> these processes?
>
> Does anyone have their own favorite recipe for
> stopping/starting apache in an automated fashion.

> Right now these situations result in downtime for users and a
