what kind of problem? > what is it you are trying to do? Nothing much, just want to do something on server 'start'. The Apache's immediate restart is not a logical thing, but an internal thing. I still want to distinguish between logical start (the server starts when it wasn't running) and restart (the server restarts when it was already running). This is an important distinction for administration needs. I'll give you an example: I want to be notified by email when the server restarts, and I pay special attention to those notifications because that usually means that something went wrong and the watchdog restarted the server. However I don't want to get this kind of notifications when the server didn't run and just starting. Well, I guess this is not the best example, but you get the idea. The punch line is that user can code this logic by himself, by checking the flag in the pconf pool, which can be set on start. But I see no reason why not giving users this as an internal flag. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
