Though I've never tried doing this, I suppose this will just work,
unless something disables/overrides your alarm sighandler.
SIGALRM is a normal process level SIG after all. Think of a mod_perl
process as a process that doesn't quit but just hangs there in a sort of
while loop, waiting for something to crunch on.

I wish to know 2 things about mod_perl

1) what happens when you set an alarm for lets say 30 seconds and the request
finishes in 20 ? Since apache child is very likely still alive is mod_perl too ?

2) does apache child die when you issue die; from perl code (mod_perl
ofcourse) ?

You are supposed to unset the alarm if the event you were timing 
finishes before it goes off.

 2) does apache child die when you issue die; from perl code (mod_perl
 ofcourse) ?

No, only when you call exit or child_terminate().

It does not, see:

Alarms?

2002-01-10 Thread tarkhil

Hello!

I'm getting lots of errors in log:

[Thu Jan 10 18:54:33 2002] [notice] child pid 8532 exit signal Alarm clock
(14)
[Thu Jan 10 18:54:37 2002] [notice] child pid 8542 exit signal Alarm clock
(14)
[Thu Jan 10 18:54:42 2002] [notice] child pid 8537 exit signal Alarm clock
(14)

What causes that alarm? What does that alarm mean (I'm asking NOT about
signal itself, but about purpose)? How can I prevent that alarm from killing
running processes in the middle of processing?

I've set up $sig{ALRM} in handler.pl, but it does not get called.

Alex.

I hope I remember this correctly:

What's happening is you are setting a SIGALRM handler in perl, but perl is not 
correctly restoring Apache's handler when yours goes out of scope.

So then a non-mod_perl request times out there's not handler and the process is killed.
