Hi guys,

I'm sure when FPM should call extensions MINIT and MSHUTDOWN functions.

MINIT is called once by the master process after it forks any
children. It's done by calling php_module_startup() in
cgi_sapi_module.startup().
MSHUTDOWN is also called by the master process before exiting and
after it kills all its children. It's done by calling
php_module_shutdown_wrapper();

Is it normal behaviour ? Or should MINIT and MSHUTDOWN be also called
in each child process somehow ?

Thanks
