It's definitely on the list. It has been agreed that launching processes should not be a *requirement* of pcgi, especially for mod_pcgi.

At some point in the "future" (under 6 months? :-) there's a little widget called ZDaemon that will see the light of day. It deals generically with the issues involved in managing LRP like this, including reforking as necessary and identifying checkpoints so that broken software doesn't restart constantly... this will take over process management from the current pcgi interface, which will make the remaining piece (that would plug into Apache, NSAPI, ISAPI, etc) relatively trivial. Having said that, we'd love to have someone who knows enough about Apache's module interface, to write one of these for the community... Chris
