Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
The httpd.exe of Apache web server has two processes running in windows.
When we kill the parent httpd.exe the child httpd.exe is still running and
listening to the web request. I don't want this.
I want to modify this in such a way that if I kill the parent httpd.exe
through following code, the child process should also get killed. How is it
possible? Please guide me. It's very urgent.
hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, FALSE, pid);
if (hProcess == NULL) return FALSE;
dwError = ERROR_SUCCESS;
if (!TerminateProcess(hProcess, (DWORD)-1))
dwError = GetLastError();
where pid is the parent process id.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashwani Sharma

not even a half-baked idea:
Somebody gets the monitor hook called from the Windows MPM (i.e.,
fixes Apache on Windows to call a hook that is provided on
Unix/Linux).
General idea (mpm_winnt.c)
/* Wait for shutdown or restart events or for child death */
winnt_mpm_state = AP_MPMQ_RUNNING;
do {
rv = WaitForMultipleObjects(NUM_WAIT_HANDLES, (HANDLE *)
event_handles, FALSE, something-that-means-one-second);
if (rv == WAIT_TIMEOUT) {
ap_run_monitor(pconf);
}
} while (rv == WAIT_TIMEOUT);
(remove existing check for WAIT_TIMEOUT that considers it a fatal error)
Your application starts httpd.exe with a define like
-DMOD_FOO_MONITORED_PID=13579
and a config that loads a custom plug-in module provided by you which
implements the monitor hook that checks for when that pid goes away.
???How to make the monitor hook take down httpd? apache -k stop???
