[Serusers] RE: SER in debug mode

[Gandhi, Jignesh]

Hello all,

I am trying to debug a new module that I have written.
So I have set fork=no and debug=4 and commented out the
child line. 

The question I have is that the how may times the child_init() 
function be called ?


The child_init() function in my module sets up a socket connection
to a server and I can see that the child_init() function is getting
called 3 times. I do not understand this. Am I missing something ?

The mod_init function is getting called only once, like it is supposed to.

I have attached the output from ser startup. The module that I have written 
is called gl.
