Child processes/cache question

[David Willams <da...@gmail.com>]

Condition: I'm pre-load sharable data at apache start, but I also have
different data that is caching itself within child processes.
Goal: to pre-cache within each process, the data that cannot be cached
within the shared space.

Not sure if I'm asking this correctly, but is there a method by which child
processes may do their own start-up routine (i.e. pre-cache) at fork time
from the parent? Now, each process basically does this on first use.

Excellent.  That's it.

Thanks!
