* The new options --log-format and --date-format must have arguments.Dale Mellor2022-07-071-2/+2
| | | | * src/mcron.in: change the optionsʼ specification
* Incorporate and use command-line-processor proposed for Guile coreDale Mellor2022-07-078-8/+1212
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the elimination of the C wrapping around mcron and all the executable scripts, a weakness in Guile's (ice-9 getopt-long) module means that the command 'mcron -s crontab.scm' does not currently work. A replacement for the getopt-long module, as well as a higher-level 'command-line-processor' facility, have been pushed to the Guile upstream developers and are awaiting approval and incorporation. In the meantime, those modules are temporarily incorporated here into the mcron package, and the code is modified to use those local versions. * Makefile.am: install two new Guile modules * src/{cron,crontab,mcron}.in: use local command-line-processor module * src/mcron/command-line-processor.scm: new module * src/mcron/getopt-long.scm: new module * tests/schedule{,-2}.sh: clarify tests of -s, --schedule options
* Trivial copyright change.Dale Mellor2022-07-071-1/+1

* cron doesnʼt need the --log-format and --date-format options.Dale Mellor2022-07-072-9/+8
| | | | | * src/cron.in: remove the options * src/mcron/scripts/cron.scm: no need for extra processing
* Using proposed new Guile command-line-processor.Dale Mellor2022-07-076-206/+215
| | | | | | | | | This is a pre-emptive delta which will make use of new facilities in a future Guile for command-line option processing---a fuller description will appear with later patches. * src/{cron,crontab,mcron}.in: use new facility * src/mcron/scripts/{cron,crontab,mcron}.scm: remove old option-scanning code
* tests: Check (mcron vixie-specification)Mathieu Lirzin2022-07-072-0/+145
| | | | | * tests/vixie-specification.scm: New file. * Makefile.am (TESTS): Register it.
* vixie-time: Remove calls to 'pk' debugging facilityMathieu Lirzin2022-07-071-2/+2
| | | | * src/mcron/vixie-time.scm (parse-vixie-time): Remove pk usage
* Lose hope of running against guile 2.2 or earlier.Dale Mellor2022-07-073-28/+14
| | | | | | | | | | We have previously allowed versions 2.0 and 2.2 to get past the configure stage, but all versions of guile before 3.0 have in fact failed to compile the code due to syntax errors for some time now. * build-aux/guix.scm: package depends on guile@3 * configure.ac: only look for guile version 3 * src/mcron/base.scm: drop allowance for old-fashioned (version 2.0) select
* Give mcron --log option to turn logging on.Dale Mellor2022-07-073-14/+30
| | | | | | | | This makes the behaviour backwards compatible with all previous uses of mcron. * src/mcron/base.scm: establish %do-logging parameter and act on it * src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm: set %do-logging according to command line * tests/base.scm: some tests require %do-logging to be set
* base: Annotate output with job information.Maxim Cournoyer2022-07-078-120/+516
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, it was difficult to discern which job emitted which output, as there was no information connecting the job to the output it produced. This change rectifies that by annotating each line output by cron/mcron with a prefix that contains a timestamp and the job name. It also reports about when the job runs and whether it completed successfully or failed. It was initially suggested here: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36510>. Thanks to the fine people from the #guile libera.chat IRC channel for providing ideas and help; this change would not have been possible without them! * src/mcron/base.scm (install-suspendable-ports!): Install suspendable ports. (%date-format, %log-format): New parameters. (validate-date-format, validate-log-format): New procedures. (<job-data>): New record. (run-job): Update doc. Redirect stdout and stderr to a pipe. Return a <job-data> instance containing the input port and other information about the job. Output job status messages. (process-output): New procedure. (child-cleanup): Add docstring. Use positive logic. Call 'process-output' one last time after a child process is collected. (run-job-loop): Add a CHILDREN-DATA variable to the loop. Provide the open file descriptors of the children ports to select*, and collect their output when they trigger select. * tests/base.scm ("run-job: basic"): Adjust and fix indentation. (dummy-job/capture-output): New procedure. ("run-job, output"): New test. ("validate-date-format, valid", "validate-date-format, invalid") ("validate-log-format, valid", "validate-log-format, invalid") ("run-job, output with custom format", "run-job, failure") ("run-job, failure in shell action"): New tests. * src/mcron/scripts/cron.scm (show-help): Document new options. (%options) [log-format, date-format]: New options. (main): Parameterize the main loop with the new parameter options (or their default values when not provided); move exception handling elsewhere (see below). * src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm: Likewise. * src/cron.in: Install error handler here. * src/mcron.in: Likewise. * doc/mcron.texi: Document new cron and mcron options, as well as new (mcron base) APIs. * tests/basic.sh: Test the new options.

* Revert "Minor cosmetic simplification of case logic after previous patch."Dale Mellor2022-01-101-25/+25
| | | | This reverts commit 99a26e5de6d132056999074ce4f4f2cf24ec8c2f.
* documentation: extensive editing of info manual after a note from Paul Vixie.Dale Mellor2022-01-101-121/+136
| | | | | | | | | | | | Paul has been in touch to say that the crontab format was not his invention, and that his program was based off of V7's cron's functionality, not later AT&T and Berkeley ones. Thus the mcron manual is edited extensively to emphasise more the POSIX standard crontab format, and to point out a more accurate history of cron developments. * doc/mcron.texi: small changes throughout the document.
* Minor cosmetic simplification of case logic after previous patch.Dale Mellor2021-12-301-25/+25
| | | | * src/mcron/base.scm: change around some /cond/s and /if/s.
* base: Handle nonexistent user home directories.Maxim Cournoyer2021-12-301-1/+11
| | | | | | | | This is useful for running jobs as the "nobody" user, for example. * src/mcron/base.scm (run-job): Catch the ENOENT (2, "No such file or directory") error when attempting to change directory to the user home directory.
* Clarify an error messageAhmed Khanzada2021-12-291-1/+2
| | | | * src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm: modified string literal
* documentation: Bug fix in a simple example.Dale Mellor2021-09-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The second example under the manual heading Simple Examples does not work. The call to next-minute-from errs because the second argument must be a list. It can’t be the raw number 15. Thanks to Colton Lewis. * doc/mcron.texi: edited text.

* build: Remove C specific Guile configuration stepMathieu Lirzin2020-05-171-5/+0
| | | | * configure.ac: Remove unecessary PKG_CHECK_MODULES invocation.
* build: Detect guile M4 macro expansion errorsMathieu Lirzin2020-05-171-1/+8
| | | | | | | | This ensures that the absence of 'pkg-config' or 'guile' M4 macros expansion do not pass the bootstrap step. * configure.ac: Allow or forbid some M4 macros patterns in the generated 'configure' script.
* scripts: Separate build/install directory contextMathieu Lirzin2020-05-173-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | This prevents installed modules to interfere with the ones from the build directory. * src/cron.in: Augment Guile load paths with install directories only when MCRON_UNINSTALLED environment variable is not set. * src/crontab.in: Likewise. * src/mcron.in: Likewise.
* build: Distribute script source filesMathieu Lirzin2020-05-081-0/+3
| | | | | | This allows 'make distcheck' to succeed. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add script source files.
* build: Handle missing "bin" directoryMathieu Lirzin2020-05-081-4/+5
| | | | | | | This fixes the generation of scripts when "bin" directory does not exist. * Makefile.am (bin/%): Invoke $(MKDIR_P) first.

| * project: banish need for C compilerDale Mellor2020-04-2017-505/+251
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch gets rid of the thin veneer that we currently have around the three executables. This was done for historical reasons (circa 2003 Guile couldnʼt deal with process signals and forks). In fact these problems were fixed many moons ago, and there is now no need for it. The project becomes 100% Guile! Many files are affected; interested coders should use the GIT repository to understand the details of all the changes.
| * test: demonstrate incorrect -s option on mcron programDale Mellor2020-04-202-0/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option is supposed to be able to take an optional argument, but if the argument is not supplied (should default to 8) then the test, rather than failing, is skipped with a friendly message in the log file. The proper fix will come with an upstream patch to GNU Guile, and a future version of Mcron. * tests/schedule-2.sh: new test, new file * Makefile.am: make sure to run the new test file
| * mcron: Look for local files in local directory.Dale Mellor2020-04-201-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously were looking for files listed on the command line in Guile's modules directory. This is a bug-fix; running 'make check' will reveal one less failure than before. * src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm (process-user-file): use read and eval instead of load.
| * test: Demonstration of failure to open local file.Dale Mellor2020-04-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mcron program goes looking for files specified on the command line in Guile's module path, inevitably resulting in failure to load said file. Running 'make check' will show at least one failure. * tests/basic.sh: Added new test.
| * doc/mcron.texi: Make the manual gender-neutral.Dale Mellor2020-04-201-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Replace his/hers with theirs, etc. *doc/mcron.text: light edits only.
| * test: make date tests reliable, i.e. independent of current timeDale Mellor2020-04-202-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the date tests depend both on the particular time of day and year at which the test is run, and also on the state of daylight-savings adjustments. (At the present time on my system there are four failing tests, but YMMV.) This patch puts all the tests to UTC time in the C locale, making the results consistent. *All* items in the test suite should be passing once again. * tests/job-schedule.scm: Fix up the environment before running the tests.

* base: Avoid 'call-with-current-continuation'.Ludovic Courtès2020-02-271-22/+22
| | | | | | | | 'call-with-current-continuation' is overkill and not quite what we want. 'let/ec' is supported in Guile 2.0, 2.2, and 3.0. * src/mcron/base.scm (run-job-loop): Use 'let/ec' instead of 'call-with-current-continuation'.
* base: Call 'child-cleanup' when 'select' returns an empty set.Ludovic Courtès2020-02-271-14/+26
| | | | | | | | Previously, on Guile >= 2.2, we'd lose this opportunity to call 'child-cleanup', possibly leaving zombies behind us. * src/mcron/base.scm (run-job-loop): Define 'select*'. Don't expect 'select*' to throw upon EINTR or EAGAIN.
