Hello Tom, Thanks for your reply. Perhaps you can help explain why I am receiving 2 '1's and 2 '2's upon Apache start (not restart). I can code to only load stuff on restart_count() == 2, but this works only for restarts, since starts give me 2 '2's on restart_count(). If I can figure out how to do initialise once, I can even try to spawn threads properly.
Can anyone confirm if this is a Windows Thing, or it happens to FreeBSD/ Linux installations as well? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Schindl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Foo Ji-Haw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <modperl@perl.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 5:12 PM Subject: Re: restart_count() on Win32 Hi, i'd say that the thing you are seening is that 3rd restart is the one where the actually running apache is checking that a restart is possible and else refusing to stop? Try logging the PID's of the process trying to restart?
