[users@httpd] Apache Scoreboard Viewer

["Morten K. Poulsen" <mo...@fabletech.com>]

Hi List,

One of our customers had a problem with some PHP scripts which tied up
all available Apache httpd threads, causing the web server to stop
responding. This is obviously not a problem with Apache, but with the
programmers who wrote the PHP scripts.

Normally we collect information about the Apache processes using
mod_status' server-status page, but this page is unavailable when the
web server is not responding. I was unable to find any tools to get this
information without making a HTTP request to the (unresponsive) server,
so I wrote a small tool myself. It simply parses the Apache scoreboard,
and prints the content.

This might be useful to others as well, so I have made the source code
available here:

Happy hacking,
Morten
