Hi,
How I might terminate an apache process from from one of the child
processes? (apache 2.x)
That is - is there a C API call (ap_* ?) that I can call to ask the
parent process to terminate (and thereby also terminate the other
children too)?
The context of this is that I have a requirement to terminate the server
if writes to an audit log fail (if the partition is full for instance).
I could make a system() call to "httpd -f httpd.conf -k stop", but it
would be nicer to do it with the appropriate API call(s).
As an aside, I did try to send a SIGTERM signal to the parent using:
if (kill(getppid(), SIGTERM)<0) {
last_err = errno;
m_audit_log->get_context()->LogError( "RA::AuditThis",
__LINE__,
"AuditThis: Failure to send signal. Error: %d : %s",
last_err, strerror(last_err));
}
and got "Error: 1 : Operation not permitted".
Thanks,
Ade Lee
