[Mono-list] mod_mono process list

[Ben Clewett]

Jo Josh,

Thanks for your advise.

In this case there is only one instance of the mod_mono handler, and it 
it not restarting, I am sure of this.  The lock casing process delay is 
probably in our code-space.  However it's nearly impossibly to work out 
what mod_mono is handling at any one time.

Therefore I have to obtain a list of what mod_mono is calling so I can 
trace our problem.

(I don't know it attachments work on this, but I have enclosed a graph 
showing how our mod_mono process count just goes up and up until the 
server crashes.)

I may have to look at the mod_mono source code to try and get a result 
if non is available now!

(Which will also allow me to make an XML version of the mod_mono Control 
Panel for easier reading of the displayed metrics in 2.0.1...)

Thanks for the advise,

Ben
