Develop Custom module for Apache server

[Parth Shah]

Hi there,
I am new at Apache Server module development. I want to design a module that can send some data to third party tool /service from Apache server. I have seen couple of modules but they are depend on specific request. So my question is, Can I design a module which will not be dependent on any request. And can run continuously behind the server?

Thanks in advance.

Yes (althugh I suspect it will have to use functionality outside the APR) but *why*? If it is not triggered by request processing then what is it doing? Why does it need to be inside Apache? What does trigger it do something?
