[users@httpd] Program Execution during Apache Startup
Hello,
Is there a way in either 1.3.x or 2.0.x to have a program run when Apache
starts, or even stops? I have some external software that I need to init
(and possibly shutdown) with Apache.
I know that I could hardcode something into bin/apachectl but I'd much rather
have it setable in httpd.conf (and even per virtual host, if possible). The
closest directive I've been able to find is LoadFile, but this doesn't look
to be exactly what I need.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to run an external shell script (or even binary
if need be) on Apache startup (shutdown would be nice, but not nessecary).
Thank you,
Hans

Maybe a new Apache module would be easiest? mod_execute or something?
Have it read certain tasks from a database per VH....... I don't know
if this is possible (are there hooks for startup/shutdown in Apache?)
but it would be quite cool to see it done :)
HTH.

Yeah, I could, but I'd like a easier to maintain and centralized
configuration set. I'm working on building an "application server" and need
to run some external programs, specific to a virtual host. If all else
fails, then yes, I'd write a wrapper script to make the external calls, and
then start apache, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Just for the sake of starting the conversation, couldn't you wrap this
in a script? eg.:
dosomething && dosomethingelse && apachectl
