in reply to How do you tell the parent process to stop it's HTTP transfer, when it forks off a child process?

if you do a close STDOUT; at the start of the child, I believe that will solve your problem. Apache won't quit till it sees no more STDOUTs to read from... I don't think you need to close STDERR.
