FastCGI question

- installed/running lighttpd
- compiled/installed fastcgi
- configured mod_fcgi
- had problems, figured out i needed to invoke spawn-fcgi to start program, which was the "echo" program from the fastcgi distribution.  so i did
- awesome, script is now called per configuration in mod_fcgi
- question is, how do i make it stop?  what exactly was spawn-fcgi do to lighttpd to make it spawn the processes even when restarted?  i'm concerned that whatever spawn-fcgi did to lighttpd will persist even if i change my config file.  anyone of you EXPERT UNIX PROGRAMMERS happen to know?

Use -P x.pid wth spawn-fcgi and kill `cat x.pid`. Or just use ps and grep. (Unless you're making Lighttpd spawn-fcgi for you.. then you're an idiot)

>>2 I appreciate your response very much.

I can kill the processes fine.  They stay away until I access the configured URL.  Then they pop up.

What I'm not understanding is why they were not popping up before I executed spawn-fcgi, and what exactly did spawn-fcgi do to lighttpd to make it keep spawning them?
