Look up the apache docs, it's a performance feature... StartServers directive Syntax: StartServers number Default: StartServers 5 Context: server config Status: core The StartServers directive sets the number of child server processes created = on startup. As the number of processes is dynamically controlled depending on the load, t= here is usually little reason to adjust this parameter. When running under Microsoft Windows, this directive has no effect. There is = always one child which handles all requests. Within the child requests are handled by se= parate threads. The ThreadsPerChild directive controls the maximum number of child threads handli= ng requests, which will have a similar effect to the setting of StartServers on Unix.=20 See also MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers.

If you have httpd running as a daemon, it will start extra instances of itself as connections come in. Once started, they hang around depending on the settings in httpd.conf. Have a look at StartServers, MaxSpareServers and MinSpareServers in the config file. -- Bud Rogers I wore khaki when khaki wasn't cool. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============1954140554260269727==-- From mclark@datsrvr.datsit.com Tue Jul 14 23:56:12 1998 From: mclark@datsrvr.datsit.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.
