libs-ec/ChangeLog

2014-09-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcCommand.m: Simplify handling of loss of process and configuration
	error alarms.  Clear such alarms when we receive a ping from the
	process.
	EcLogger.[hm]: Add documentation in the header, plus a new method to
	make subclassing a bit easier.  Fix bug in naming of config keys.

2014-09-04  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcProcess.m: Fix missing clear after unable to register with name
	server.

2014-09-02  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcControl.m: If a Command server on a host registers and we already
	have a Command server registered, have the new registration replace
	the old one rather than rejecting it.  The aim is to handle a race
	condition where a Command server is re-registering after some network
	problem and the old registration is still in place.
	* EcAlerter.m: Add more debug logging to show what elarms/alerts are
	handled by what rules.

2014-07-30  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcProcess.h:
	* EcProcess.m:
	Added +ecSetup method to create/initialise the singleton instance.

2014-07-01  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* Command.m:
	* Control.m:
	Implement auto-restart ...
	Run a 'Watcher' process as a daemon with the actual server as a
	subtask.  If the subtask dies with a status other than zero,
	restart it after a 30 second delay.

2014-06-20  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcProcess.m: Make sure the NSHost cache is flushed at least
	once per minute (by -ecNewMinute:) so that any stale information
	is replaced reasonably promptly.

2014-05-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcAlarmDestination.m: Perform all connection operations in
	main thread (forwarding etc) and ensure that we run the
	current run loop while waiting for startup and shutdown.
	* EcLogger.m: Use floating point flush interval for modern
	systems which run faster and might want to flush more than
	once per second.
	* EcProcess.m: Don't start handling timeouts until the
	process is actually running (so we don't get any during
	initialisation of the class).
	* GNUmakefile: bump subminor version number for release
	Version 1.1.3 release

2014-05-14  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcTest.h:
	* EcTest.m:
	* EcProcess.m:
	* GNUmakefile:
	Add a few simple functions to connect to a process, set/get the
	config of a running process, and issue commands (and get back
	the response) so that regression test software can relatively
	easily exercie an entire system.

2014-03-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcControl.m: Add option to allow any user to log in.

	* EcAlarmDestination.m:
	When clearing an alarm, forward the clear to the next destination

	When unmanaging a managed object, remove internal records of cleared
	and active alarms for that managed object.

2014-01-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * EcProcess.m:
        * EcAlarmDestination.h:
        * EcAlarmDestination.m:
	Remove experimental force clear method ... obey the KISS rule and
	stick to using domanange and unmanage methods for clearing on
	startup/shutdown. People wanting alars which persist after process
	shutdown should create a secondary managed object for them.

        (still need to make this period configurable).
        Send clear message when a major/critical alarm is cleared, trying
        to get mail clients to replace original email with the clear so the             recipient can tell a problem has gone away.

2013-04-05  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * EcControl.m: Fix to get 'control on <host> ...' to work while
