Hi, Current versions of mod_perl2 include the following line in src/modules/perl/modperl_config.c:
187 /* make sure httpd's argv[0] is the first argument so $0 is 188 * correctly connected to the real thing */ 189 modperl_config_srv_argv_push(s->process->argv[0]); Without mod_perl2, a running Apache process has a name "apache2" in /proc/$$/status (this is on a Debian machine, so on other distributions that name might differ). With mod_perl2 loaded, the name is "/usr/sbin/apach" - note the additional path information that causes the name to be truncated. This causes us (Tiger Computing) some difficulties in our monitoring of Apache with mod_perl loaded, and users elsewhere have reported similar experiences [1][2] A bug was reported to Fedora[3] in March 2012, and a patch applied[4], but it's not clear whether this was ever reported upstream. The patch uses s->process->short_name instead. Please could you comment on a) the problem, and whether it's a genuine bug b) the patch that Fedora applied 1: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754702 2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-perl2/+bug/1008385 3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782369 4: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=567625&action=diff Thanks, -- Jonathan Wiltshire Tiger Computing Ltd "Linux for Business" Tel: 01600 483 484 Web: http://www.tiger-computing.co.uk Follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TigerComputing Registered in England.
