We have it running for about 3 years already. No need to develop anything since it is already there. It does not change anything related to the main server so it needs no extra testing. It is just an C-equivalent of your shell-script and it alows you to: nsd -s -t config.tcl and forget about it. It logs worker start/stop/restart in system logfile so its easy to track. > Also, as a stand-alone script or program, folks running even older > AOLserver 3.3.x could take advantage of it, rather than being forced to > upgrade to either 4.x or 3.5.x ... or were you planning to backport this > change all the way back? Ah.... Seeing all those responses... I think I'll just keep our own patched nsd copy and leave all as-is. It took me more time to write all those anwers, than to write the small C-routine we're talking about. If everybody is happy with shell/daemontools/whatever there is no reason for me to do anything here, obviously. Apparently, we have a very different usage pattern than most of the other users...
