[Speedycgi-users] Catching end of process / shutdown handler

[PW <sub...@me...>]

Folks

Is there are way to catch the end of life of a SpeedyCGI front-end
process? What I am looking for is sort of a shutdown handler like the
SpeedyCGI CGI module provides, however I am utilizing the SpeedyCGI
Apache module which does not provide this functionality. Obviously, END
blocks are ignored in a persistent environment and trying to do it via
signal handling seems a little hairy if not unreliable.

As a specific example: a CGI app uses session tracking, keeping the
session data as a per process hash persistently in memory. If the
process dies due to inactivity, max runs or whatever, it should perform
one last clean-up job, i.e. flushing the remains of the session data to
disk. Of course, one could store or tie the session data on each
invocation to disk, loosing some efficiency, but I want to reap the
benefits of persistency!


Thanks!
