tests: substitute the single-program $VERBOSE/--version uses

2010-11-17T20:45:51Z

Automatically make all of the changes like this: -test "$VERBOSE" = yes && chgrp --version +print_ver_ chgrp git grep -l 'VERBOSE.*--version'|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/test "\$VERBOSE" = yes && (\w+) --version/print_ver_ $1/'

tests: convert first batch of tests from test-lib.sh to init.sh

2010-11-17T19:48:57Z

Initially, I did this, git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e '~180-byte script' but that line would have been much longer than the maximum permitted by coreutils' commit hook, and wasn't readable besides, so here's a more readable version: lhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ 'if test "$VERBOSE" = yes; then' \ ' set -x' \ ' touch --version' \ 'fi' \ '' \ '. $srcdir/test-lib.sh' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/touch/(\\w+)/') rhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ '. "${srcdir=.}/init.sh"; path_prepend_ ../src' \ 'test "$VERBOSE" = yes && FIXME --version' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/FIXME/\$1/') git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e "s,$lhs,$rhs,"

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

2010-01-01T13:06:47Z

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.
