| * | base: Annotate output with job information....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.

one last time after a child process is collected.

file descriptors of the children ports to select*, and collect their output
when they trigger select.

(dummy-job/capture-output): New procedure.
("run-job, output"): New test.
("validate-date-format, valid", "validate-date-format, invalid")

default values when not provided); move exception handling elsewhere (see
below).
* src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm: Likewise.
* src/cron.in: Install error handler here.

| * | documentation: extensive editing of info manual after a note from Paul Vixie....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.

* src/mcron/base.scm (run-job): Catch the ENOENT (2, "No such file or

directory.

| * | documentation: Bug fix in a simple example....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.

expansion do not pass the bootstrap step.
* configure.ac: Allow or forbid some M4 macros patterns in the generated
'configure' script.

build directory.

when MCRON_UNINSTALLED environment variable is not set.

| | * | project: banish need for C compiler...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.
| Dale Mellor | 2020-04-20 | 17 | -505/+251 |
| | * | test: demonstrate incorrect -s option on mcron program...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
| Dale Mellor | 2020-04-20 | 2 | -0/+83 |
| | * | mcron: Look for local files in local directory....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.
| Dale Mellor | 2020-04-20 | 1 | -2/+5 |
| | * | test: Demonstration of failure to open local file....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.
| Dale Mellor | 2020-04-20 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| | * | doc/mcron.texi: Make the manual gender-neutral....Replace his/hers with theirs, etc.
*doc/mcron.text: light edits only.
| Dale Mellor | 2020-04-20 | 1 | -6/+6 |
| | * | test: make date tests reliable, i.e. independent of current time...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.

'child-cleanup', possibly leaving zombies behind us.
