* 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 Mellor2022-07-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

* Using proposed new Guile command-line-processor.Dale Mellor2022-07-071-3/+53
| | | | | | | | | 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
* base: Annotate output with job information.Maxim Cournoyer2022-07-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Suggested-by: Robert Vollmert <rob@vllmrt.net>
* scripts: Separate build/install directory contextMathieu Lirzin2020-05-171-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
* project: banish need for C compilerDale Mellor2020-04-201-0/+8
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.
