| 2 | ============= | |

| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | multifscgi - Manage multiple instances of a FastCGI or SCGI server | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | *multifscgi* [*-h*] 'NUM' 'PROGRAM' ['ARGS'...] | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | *multifscgi* is a simple program intended to manage multiple running | |
| 16 | instances of a FastCGI or SCGI server. It is distributed as part of | |
| 17 | *ashd*(7). | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | The utility of multifscgi lies in the fact some FastCGI or SCGI server | |
| 20 | programs, such as PHP, process at most one request at a time. As such, | |
| 21 | multiple such server processes must run simultaneously in order to | |
| 22 | process requests concurrently. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The *multifscgi* program works simply by forking 'NUM' instances of | |
| 25 | whatever program it is given on its command line. As long as the SCGI | |
| 26 | or FastCGI listen socket is passed on standard input, it will be | |
| 27 | naturally inherited by those child processes, and whichever one of | |
| 28 | them is currently idle will be able to accept a request. If any of the | |
| 29 | children terminate, a new one will be started in its place. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | OPTIONS | |
| 32 | ------- | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | *-h*:: | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Print a brief help message to standard output and exit. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | SIGNALS | |

| 40 | ||
| 41 | SIGTERM, SIGINT:: | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | Terminate cleanly be killing off any remaining child | |
| 44 | processes. | |
