Re: Forcing modperl processes to restart after N requests

As an aside, the Plack subsystem (often used with FastCGI) has support for this in an obscure parameter called "harakiri." Aptly-named but hard to spot the docs. It terminates the worker after a specified number of requests.

nothing which is well documented is obscure :) PSGI kill -> PSGI::Extensions `psgix.harakiri`: A boolean which is true if the PSGI server supports harakiri mode, that kills a worker (typically a forked child process) after the current request is complete. `psgix.harakiri.commit`: A boolean which is set to true by the PSGI application or middleware when it wants the server to kill the worker after the current request.

That's a really good example for a self documenting method name... ;-) Thank you for that comment.	[reply]

It was a good name, even cute, but the devil himself to find in the documentation at the time.	[reply]
