this a.m. how do we get a cleared scoreboard after apachectl restart?
If there is no such logic right now: Is the WinNT MPM gonna puke if ap_create_scoreboard() clears it (but preserving running_generation) in the already-have-a-scoreboard path? -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...

What would prevent about-to-die old generation processes from writing into the scoreboard after it is cleared? Greg

Will that make things break at shutdown time? Killing the cleanup is currently a no-op since it is searching the wrong pool... If the scoreboard is going to be associated with the process pool then we shouldn't be killing the cleanup anyway, right? * for some period of time before the pool change, it wasn't always effective in preventing the new generation from seeing old generation data, as you reported.

Since I don't see any answers on WinNT MPM I'm going to forget about it and assume that clearing the scoreboard in ap_create_scoreboard() is good for everybody. -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
