My last post included a patch providing the mechanism to know when the server starts and immediately restarts. Unfortunately it won't work for 'httpd -k [stop|graceful|restart]' which can't reach the pool of the running server.
We have users asking for a flag which will allow them to disable the execution of their startup code when the server is shutdown. Can the mpm architecture be extended to set some flag telling what state it's in (for the benefit of the config phase and may be others as well)?
Now this would be useful. Especially since I don't want all the initialization (with all the potential failures during) when I'm trying to shut down the server. Ever had a config error when trying to shut down your server?

It's really weird how everyone stumbles across the same fooness at the same time. +1's all the way round.
