Thank you; I am going to take this into account

Once I have killed the running processes, what prevents the FastCgi Manager from spawning new processes which could be the older version of my program.  Isn't there a way to send a message straight to the  FastCgi Process Manager for Apache who would do the job (better than me most probably).

How do you guys handle that step of switching to a newer version of your app?
