Re: is httpd a valid way to start Apache?

[Jos Backus]

What about moving into the other direction and moving the process management
portion into a separate set of tools so it can be used with other daemons
besides httpd? This would also improve portability of the mechanism: no
worries about pid file races and staleness, differing versions of
ps/kill/killall/etc. It would be great to have a BSD-licensed version of
something like djb's daemontools.
