Re: [users@httpd] CGI receives SIGTERM

["Steve Swift" <steve.j.swift@xxxxxxxxx>]

As far as I know Apache doesn't send Sigterm to a running CGI. This has nothing to do with the Timeout directive.
A couple of weeks ago I asked the opposite question: "How can I timeout a CGI that is hung/looping?" and the answer I got, from trusted sources was that it cannot be done with Apache alone, but would require an external monitor.

Something else on your system is doing this.

Hi guys,

As far as I know the Timeout directive does control the amount of time a CGI
has before receiving a SIGTERM. However my CGI still receives a SIGTERM
after what appears to be a random amount of time that is much less than what
I have set in the Timeout directive. The client side still has the
connection to the CGI when it receives the SIGTERM. So I'm wondering under
what other circumstances does apache send SIGTERM to a CGI? Any help is very
much appreciated.

Thanks.
