Re: How to determine if a graceful restart is initiated from within a module

[Colm MacCarthaigh <co...@stdlib.net>]

Apologies for the late reply, I was actually looking at this code
yesterday, and no there is no convienent way to do it, but why is that
you want to ?

It'll take some form of IPC to do this, but I'm shortly about to start
writing a complete replacement for mod_cgid which we may or may not end
up using, so it'd be useful to have feedback on why you need to do this
and what additional requirements we can try and fulfill.

Re: How to determine if a graceful restart is initiated from within a module

Hi Colm,

We have a customer who wants cgi scripts to be killed after a graceful 
restart after 'some' time. So I am implementing a timer that will be 
configurable so that after that time has elapsed cgid can terminate the 
child cgi processes that are still around.

For that I need to know if it is a graceful restart and I am looking at 
ways of getting that information.

Regards,
Kiran
