httpd children receiving SIGHUP

Hello,

I am trying to understand the circumstances under which the httpd parent wi=
ll SIGHUP its children. MaxRequestsPerChild is set to zero and we are stil=
l seeing the child processes receive a SIGHUP after a certain amount of tim=
e or requests. Looking at the server status, thread resources are not bein=
g exhausted.

Is there some other limit if reached would cause the parent to SIGHUP a chi=
ld?

Thanks,
Brandon

SIGHUP should just be sent on non-graceful restart

what is the httpd version and platform? what is the evidence of
SIGHUP vs. some other signal?

>=A0MaxRequestsPerChild is set to zero

SIGHUP is not used for that anyway
