But what really goes on is that this call are delegated to a controller script which directs the call to a script on the server. E.g the server has a controller which is delegated any request despite of the URL. It splits the request up in main parts an then calls myscript.py. This call is carrying out by starting myscript.py in a new thread in either of two ways: 1: t1 = myscript.MyScript() t1.start() t1.join(30.0) return http code 500 to caller 2: (Assumption myscript.MyScript has implemented self destruction as the example from the python cookbook) t1 = myscript.MyScript() t1.start() t1.join() return http code 500 to caller The must elegant solution would be 2. IMHO. So you see, it is not the apache child process I am killing but a thread running inside that apache process. The apache process stays alive and is unknowing of what actually goes on. I think this is thread safe, at least when discussing the actual apache child processes. - - -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen Get my public GnuPG keys: michael <at> rasmussen <dot> cc http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD3C9A00E mir <at> datanom <dot> net http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE501F51C mir <at> miras <dot> org http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 - - -------------------------------------------------------------- [After hitting Jenny's boyfriend] Forrest Gump: "Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther party" - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFpB5NVErYVePoCRcRAkjfAJ0TFNgz8WgaHzD5PPesygV/vUf/XACePdg9 iH2nSCgduM5KPRQZzfES1Wo= =S4xC - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen Get my public GnuPG keys: michael <at> rasmussen <dot> cc http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD3C9A00E mir <at> datanom <dot> net http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE501F51C mir <at> miras <dot> org http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Why was Stonehenge abandoned?
