A start in apache is actually a start+restart IIRC. Could that be what
you're seeing? I posted this a few days back but perhaps it was lost in
the noise. I've got the following in my startup.pl:
use Apache2::ServerUtil;
# We want to do this only when the sever restarts. (The start process
# includes a restart). The below variable has a value of 1 during
# server start/stop and a value greater than one during the second
# phase of server starting and any graceful restart.
if ( Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count() > 1 ) {
# force load/initialise perl stuff
}
Are any of the following useful to you (even if you set a variable using
the shutdown callback to forcibly stop the preload?) in
Apache2::ServerUtil?
# register server shutdown callback
Apache2::ServerUtil::server_shutdown_register_cleanup(sub {
Apache2::Const::OK });
# do something only when the server restarts
my $cnt = Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count();
do_something_once() if $cnt > 1;
Cheers,
Andrew
