I'm not sure what version you are talking about (1.3 or 2.0), but on 2.0 Unix-based MPMs, you can run httpd with -DNO_DETACH and it will not detach from the terminal. ./httpd -DNO_DETACH The only place I'm seeing us killing the process group is when you send a SIGTERM. Is this what you are talking about? Do you have a better mechanism in mind? AIUI, some OSes do not deliver signals sent to the parent to the children and others do. I think we were attempting to obtain consistency. I imagine we could have httpd set it own process group, but that might not be good either. Thoughts? -- justin
