[users@httpd] graceful stop?
Hi All.
I have need of a 'graceful stop' whereby existing requests are allowed
to complete fully before each child httpd process exits. I am aware
of the graceful restart capability, but this is different because I
don't want a restart.
Does such a thing exist? If not, is there a known workaround?
Thanks in advance.

I'm talking about uploads as in POSTs and GETs. For example, a user
may be POSTing gobs of data in one request. We need to allow him to
finish, then shut the whole thing down. These are huge requests.
Thanks.

Can't rewrite rules be put in .htaccess files? You could stick a htaccess
with a rewrite * to->"we're busy doing something.html" until the upload is
finished at which point you can remove the htaccess and the sites start
working again. Current responses would finish while new access would show
the "we're busy, come back later" html. Plus you get no "site not found"
errors to boot :)

Bummer, hoped for something a little simpler. We have apps that
involve significant uploads over geographically widely distributed
lans, and we need this sort of functionality often.
Thanks.

No graceful stop, but you can swap the config file for one that provides
no access and do a graceful restart, followed by a regular stop when all
the connections are finished.
