timeout: use more standard option parsing

2010-03-26T14:27:54Z

* src/timeout.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options() which is a helper for commands that don't have any long options specific to them. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove a case that now passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the --help and --version options. * THANKS: Add the author. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady

timeout: add the --kill-after option

2010-03-16T23:10:15Z

Based on a report from Kim Hansen who wanted to send a KILL signal to the monitored command when `timeout` itself received a termination signal. Rather than changing such a signal into a KILL, we provide the more general mechanism of sending the KILL after the specified grace period. * src/timeout.c (cleanup): If a non zero kill delay is specified, (re)set the alarm to that delay, after which a KILL signal will be sent to the process group. (usage): Mention the new option. Separate the description of DURATION since it's now specified in 2 places. Clarify that the duration is an integer. (parse_duration): A new function refactored from main(), since this logic is now called for two parameters. (main): Parse the -k option. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the new --kill-after option and use @display rather than @table to show the duration suffixes. Clarify that a duration of 0 disables the associated timeout. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check invalid --kill-after. * tests/misc/timeout: Check a valid --kill-after works. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010

Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright

tests: avoid a spurious failure on a loaded system

2009-11-14T13:53:17Z

* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: This test could fail due to the 1-second timeout expiring before a command of "no_such" could be exec'd and fail. Increase to 10 seconds.

tests: avoid a spurious timeout on a heavily-loaded system

2009-11-13T15:38:20Z

* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: This test would fail due to the 1-second timeout expiring before a command of "." could be exec'd and fail. Increase to 10 seconds.

tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.sh

2009-10-30T11:50:12Z

Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.

tests: avoid file name not portable to cygwin

2009-10-26T12:05:44Z

* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Use 'no_such', not '...', since cygwin 1.5 silently strips trailing dots. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Likewise.

tests: enhance stdbuf and timeout tests

2009-10-23T22:31:23Z

* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Validate exact exit status. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout: Likewise. Use require_built_. * tests/misc/arch: Likewise.

tests: refactor to use the new getlimits utility

2009-01-03T15:10:42Z

* tests/Coreutils.pm: Add function to make limits available * tests/test-lib.sh: ditto * tests/misc/join: Check for both SIZE_OFLOW and UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^128 * tests/misc/sort: ditto * tests/misc/uniq: ditto * tests/misc/printf: Check for both INT_OFLOW and INT_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^31 * tests/misc/seq-long-double: Check for INTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^63 * tests/misc/split-fail: Check --lines --bytes and --line-bytes options limits on all platforms. Note getlimits obviates the need to use expr to check if 32 bit integers are supported, which I think was invalid anyway as expr now supports bignum? * tests/misc/test: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64 and 2^128. Check for INTMAX_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^64 * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check for UINT_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^32 * tests/misc/truncate-overflow: Don't depend on truncate to determine if we're on a 32 or 64 bit platform and instead use the various OFF_T limits * tests/misc/sort-merge: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64+1 * tests/misc/unexpand: ditto
