run a php script on apache startup

[Anon]

I am writing a Web server application that uses shared memory. I have written a PHP script that creates and initializes the shared memory segment. I would like to run this script when Apache first starts, but can not find a way to call a PHP scipt on Apache startup. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

How much control over the machine do you have? Can
you modify the startup script itself? You could always
add a line after the httpd starts that fires up lynx/wget/
you name it and asks for a particular page. Hmm, this
maybe better be a separate script that's launched in
the background and sleeps a couple of seconds first...
