Shariq, Thanks for your reply, I think we can use the Shared memory if we have one file which has to be shared among all the process/thread, but my problem is i have 100's of files in directory and i need to store them all in a hash map and arrays. Also I need to malloc the arrays structure dynamically. Will this possible using the shared memory or there is any other technique for the same..? Thanks, Jaysingh.

As you mentioned - the problem here is that the loaded state is forked by the Apache process/thread structure and hence only the process/thread that serves the handler will reload its state.I am thinking of solving this problem in the following ways - 1) Maintain the state that needs to be reloaded in shared memory - so that all Apache processes/threads can read the same version. I am guessing this will be expensive.2) Terminate the processes/threads whose state has become obsolete.On top of the mod_rewrite recommended by someone else here, I think mod_perl does something similar too - because it has to look for modified Perl files on disk on every request.What are your thoughts?thanks,Shariq On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 5:34 AM, Jayasingh Samuel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hai,I have a hash map which takes its input and key from a file. I store it on the server Startup. Now the file content will be changed automatically and i want to reload the hash map automatically after hitting some handler. What i see is, after reloading the hash map using the handler, iam able to see the new Contents and the old contents alternatively.All the thread process are not getting updated with the new changes.Please reply me 1. If you have solution for this to reload the hash map automatically.2. How to kill the old threads which is having the old hash map and to spawn new threads with the new Contents.Thanks in advance,Jaysingh Samuel _________________________________________________________________Wish to Marry Now?
