Perhaps you could send a USR1 prior to your TERM signal and have your
END blocks perform your shutdown tasks if they see the USR1 signal.
But then you have the problem of new children being started due to the
USR1
not to mention it would preclude using USR1 for doing normal graceful
restarts, 8^)
Hrm, would be nice if $r->server had a method to tell you if apache is
in the process of shutting down or not.
