Re: cvs commit: httpd-test/perl-framework/Apache-Test/lib/Apache TestServer.pm
it is a nice feature when it works, so i've re-enabled for linux only. for the other platforms in the current state, its better to wait 60 seconds if the server fails to start than to throw and error and die when it has successfully started.

Haven't seen the patch yet, but for some systems it's the waitpid() call that seems weird.

Log:
this $SIG{CHLD} / $? status checking stuff does not work well on
solaris or hpux. more often than not get:
That somebody doesn't have access to hpux/solaris to debug the problem.
Anybody to help me here.

Maybe... but it works fine with Linux, so it would be then how each OS handles the whole process group stuff.

In any case how would you write this as cross-platform code in C?
If I have the C code I can easily port it to Perl.
There are two parts the sighandler:
$SIG{CHLD} = { something that tries to catch if the child has died }
and the fork:
my $cmd = httpd ...
defined(my $pid = fork) or die Can't fork: $!;
unless ($pid) { # child
my $status = system $cmd;
if ($status) {
$status = $? 8;
#error httpd didn't start! $status;
}
CORE::exit $status;
}
}
And the startup algorithm is as follows:
1. set the SIGCHLD
2. fork a new child process
3. start the process via system in the child process (exec is not good
since we want to report exit status, but can be done via wait*() as well)
4. fetch /index.html to test whether the server responds (and wait till
it does or timeout)
5. reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT
So if between 3. and 5. the forked in 2. child dies, there is a problem,
and we report a startup failure.
Apparently on hpux and a few others child is reported is dead, when it's
not. Now please fill in the missing info, of why does this happen.
Thanks.
