[users@httpd] Terminating http also kills other processes

Hello,

I have an application that is started through a web page (cgi-bin).
Everything works fine until I stop the httpd, which then sends a SIGTERM
to my application's process.

I there a way to avoid that ? I am running 1.3 under Solaris 7 & 8.

Thanks for any suggestion !

Stephane

PS: I cannot make my application ignore SIGTERM, as it is used for a graceful
    shutdown.

Your application will have to detach itself from the caller ('become a
daemon').
