Since you forcibly terminate the server process(es) your instance of httpd.exe won't be cleaned up. It's really not terribly graceful. It's the unix equivilant of sending kill -KILL instead of kill. Ick. I believe you can solve your entire problem by telling httpd.exe to shut down, and avoiding the abandoned children. The API would be GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent to force a CTRL_C_EVENT at the process http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683155.aspx all of which is to say you aren't using httpd.exe as a service, which is where most of the testing and evalution effort is invested in. Since you are replacing the parent wrapper you might consider dropping the parent altogether (see the -X flag, I'm not sure if -DONE_PROCESS is the same effect on win32 offhand). Bill
