Doubt on init and service functions in SP2

Hi ,

I have some questions on i service function and init function we define in magnus.conf and obj.conf file.

Like in Init fn="load-modules" funcs="a,b"

Init fn="a"

and in case of service functions we define in case of performance dump

<Object ppath="/usr/netscape/servers/docs/.perf">

Service fn="service-dump"

</Object>

So what is the relationship between them. My observation is init function is called during the initialization time and the service functions are called for each request received.Correct me if I am wrong or missing something.

Also does this two functions does any object manipulation among them.Like I create a object in the init function and the service function is handling the object.Now suppose the process is killed and init function is not called any more so when new request comes does the object created in the init function still exists or it get changed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
