As nobody uses httpd as an application except in brief testing, it has relatively little testing and review. You can always look at the test framework available via svn from; http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/trunk/perl-framework/ for an example of how the framework invokes and shuts down httpd as an application for the purposes of testing. The ctrl+c signal *is* captured and handled, so there is no issue with using that approach. Of course, killing the process (TerminateProcess) has the side effects described above. Patches are welcome, of course. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
