Raw Blame History

2023-10-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h: clarify comment a little
* EcProcess.m: fix typo
* EcCommand.m: Check that the Home configured in the launch
information is (if defined) a relative path inside the ECCL
user directory, that the Home directory exists, and that it
is writable.
Create a debug log of any problems.
Terminate.m: Calrify comment
2023-07-25 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
* EcTest.m:
Add -ecDidAwakenCompletely
2023-04-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* ECCL.h:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcConsole.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Add display options 'mark' and 'prompt' to control output format to
make it easier to perform pattern matching when using Console in a
script.
2023-03-10 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
* Operators.plist:
Change Blocked array to Commands array so we list commands that the
operator is allowed to use and default (where a Commands array is
defined) to blocking all commands.
2023-03-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
* Operators.plist:
Implement a Blocked array to list the commands that an operator should
not be allowed to perform.
2023-02-14 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: When using the 'defaults' command from the Console,
writing or deleting a key without the prefix should implicitly
alter the default for both the prefixed and unprefixed versions
of the key. This ensures that any low level code that does not use
prefixes to access the defaults will still read the updated value.
2023-01-21 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Allow SetE and AddE configuration for the Command
server to set up the default environment variables to be used for
launched child processes.
EcProcess.m: If MemoryMaximum is set to a value less than the initial
memory usage of the process plus 20%, it is ignored but an alarm is
raised. Once the configuration is fixed the alarm is cleared.
2023-01-13 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* GNUmakefile: bump version to 1.2.0 for release
2023-01-03 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
EcCommand.m: Fix clearing of alarms about a process when it becomes
stable. Implement 'alarms' and 'clear' commands like those in client
processes.
2022-11-14 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcCommand.m:
Add new method of Command server (-restart:reason:) to requst that
it restart an individual process.
2022-11-11 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
Fix a few incorrect checks for TLS certificate presence.
2022-11-09 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* Control.plist:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
More TLS cleanup and support for setting TLS options in the Launch
configuration in Control.plist
2022-11-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: Make Control specific config clearer and avoid
polluting server specific config space with it.
* EcCommand.m: Pass along more TLS control vlaues to clients
* EcProcess.m: Clean up setting TLS configuration, fix to be present
in all necessary code paths, add support for GSTLSVerify and
GSTLSServerName in process config, so we can
control inter process verification.
2022-11-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: check for crypt
* config.h.in: regenerate
* config.make.in: regenerate
* configure: regenerate
* EcProcess.h: remove -cmdOperator: method.
* EcProcess.m: remove -cmdOperator: method.
* EcControl.m: Implement hashed passwords but allow
password=username in plaintext for backward compatibility.
2022-11-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: When a process shuts down due to a configuration error
autolaunch is deferred for 5 minutes because human intervention is
unlikely to be rapid (thereiis no point repeatedly trying to autolaunch
a misconfigured process).
2022-11-01 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.h:
* EcAlarmDestination.m:
Keep track of the alarm thread and signal it to flush alarms on
shutdown.
2022-10-10 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Do not override signals which are intended for
applications to use (SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2).
2022-10-05 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcConsole.m: Use SUDO_USER preferentially as username of person
executing command. This is supplied when the command is run via sudo.
2022-07-12 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
configure.ac:
configure:
config.h.in:
EcProcess.m:
Check for valgrind and, if availeable, log when a 'memory' command
is executed so that valgrind logs can be matched to events between
successive memory check commands.
2022-07-11 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcConsole.m: Exit immediately after registration with Control server
is rejected (don't re-prompt for password before exit).
2022-06-17 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Intercept lock error handling and, in the case of a
deadlock, raise an alarm before calling the normal handler to log
and stop the thread.
2022-06-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* GNUMakefile: Fix to supply local flags to build libraries
* EcConsole.m: Add EC_LOGIN_NAME define set to 1 to permit the
entry of a login name with a 'Login' prompt.
Use the EffectiveUser default or the name of the user running the
process as the default name to login with.
If EC_LOGIN_NAME is not set then the name of the user running the
process is used unconditionally.
2022-02-28 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
When building config for a process, only count the part of a process
name after the last hyphen as an instance ID if it is entirely
composed of digits.
2022-02-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
Add EncryptedDO boolean user default value to turn on TLS for
distributed objects (if the gnustep-base library supports it).
This is used only if TLS_DISTRIBUTED_OBJECTS is NOT defined at
compile time.
2022-02-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Use alarms rather than alerts to report lack
of disk space or inodes.
2021-12-22 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: Add AlamrFilter as a config option to provide a
regular expression to filter out alarms to be ignored.
2021-12-19 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.h:
* EcAlarmDestination.m:
* EcControl.m:
Add (-latest:) method to find the most recent match for an alarm
in the queue/active/cleared data structures.
Use it to filter out duplicate clears.
2021-12-16 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
Make -alarm: method run in main thread so that bundles loaded and
running on other threads can raise?clear alarms safely.
2021-12-10 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
New -clear: method in Command server to clear an alarm in one of its
clients. Changed the Control server so that the 'suppress' command
clears an alarm locally (suppressing its effects by leaving it
raised in the originating client), while the 'clear' command clears
the alarm in the originating client.
2021-09-13 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
* EcTest.m:
Use TLS for DO only if TLS_DISTRIBUTED_OBJECTS is defined.
2021-09-03 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: When deleting old logs, consider directories from all
time rather than just those for the last year. This prevents logs
from being left undeleted when the DeleteLogsAfter config is changed
from a value longer than a year to a shorter value.
2021-06-30 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* Command.m:
* Console.m:
* ECCL.h:
* EcConsole.m:
* EcProcess.m:
Fixups for Console to return error status if it can't connect to the
Control server or if the Control server rejects its login attempt.
2021-06-24 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m:
* EcTest.h:
* EcTest.m:
Update for Distributed Objects over TLS API changes and to add
EcTestShutdownByName() function to shut down a client process.
2021-06-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
* EcProcess.h:
When we restart because MemoryMaximum is reached/near, use termination
status -5. Raise an alarm to log this in the Command server.
Change unregistering so that it reports the status the process intends
to exit with. The Command server can then use this information in
cases where the client process is not one of its children.
2021-06-20 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
* EcTest.m:
* Control.plist:
Improve building when TLS stuff is not available.
Add code to allow a process launch configuration to contain a
HungTime setting for automatic restart of apparently hung processes.
Add HungTool configuration to specify a tool to be executed to
gather information about a hung process before it is restarted (if
not defined, the gcore tool is used).
Add Ping configuration to control how long a process needs to be
umresponsive to pings before it is considered hung.
2021-06-18 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
Pass TLS information from Command server to clients via pipe, so the
clients can use a key/certificate shared with the Command server to
encrypt communications. This avoids each client process having to
do expensive generation of a key.
2021-06-17 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.m:
Change the way the Command server launches subprocesses, so that
the key/value pairs normally passed as process arguments to populate
the NSUserDefaults NSArgumentDomain are mostly passed via a pipe to
STDIN of the subprocess. This keeps the argument list visible to
commands like 'ps' small and readable, and allows us to pass hidden
values (eg encryption keys) to the subprocess.
2021-01-15 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcProcess.m(cmdMesgmemory:):
Fix output of 'memory all' command to really report all
allocations.
2020-04-06 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m:
Fix bug with AlertConfig.plist; when the file is not provided the
value of the Alerter key in the Control (keyed on any empty string)
area in Control.plist should be used, but instead it was failing.
2020-04-02 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcLogger.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Remove obsolete methods for registration/unregistration. Change code
to refrain from registering with Command server if in the process of
shutting down, and to refrain from attempting an unregistration if
not already registered. The hope is that this will prevent a race
condition where loss of connection to the Command server can cause a
shutdown and re-register during the shutdown fooling the Command
server into thinking the process is still running.
2020-03-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Add protocols to allow one process to register with another as a
client to whom config should be forwarded. This allows closely
cooperating processes to be aware of each-other's config changes.
2020-01-27 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmSinkSNMP.m:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcLogger.h:
* EcLogger.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Changes to formally deprecate cmdAlert:... and cmdError:...
2019-11-01 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Restructure so that all ways we can be informed that
a task has shut down/ended funnel into the same few methods to avoid
code duplication and errors where different code paths treat things
differently. All unregistration into one method (with options for
a clean unregistration and a simple loss of connection ... dirty).
Final task cleanup/restart code in one method called on notifiction
of task termination or (if we don't have an NSTask object because
the process was not launched by the Command server) simulated when
the process unregisters or the connection is lost. Add comments.
2019-10-29 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcClientI.h:
* EcClientI.m: Remove a couple of methods only used by EcCommand.
* EcCommand.m: Add more information to launch info and use it to
ensure that suspended tasks remain suspended if they crash. Also
check for task completion in case a task crashes before it can
establish a DO connection back to the Command server.
2019-10-05 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcLogger.m:
* EcProcess.m:
The debug command at the Console should report when debug (STDERR)
is suppressed.
2019-10-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcClientI.m:
When we ask a client to terminate, turn off restarting flag.
When a client has restarted, turn off restarting flag.
2019-10-03 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
When processes shut themselves down gracefully, don't relaunch them
unless they are either configured to autolaunch or are being
restarted.
2019-09-25 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
Rename launch timeout methods to avoid conflict with EcProcess
timeouts and make code clearer.
2019-09-25 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcCommand.m:
Fix bugs that prevent the status command from working for
abbreviated process names.
2019-08-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
When checking to see if a process is alive/responding, set a short
timeout for the DO request to get a proxy to the process so that
we don't hang waiting for a response that never comes.
2019-08-11 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Add MemoryAlarm config to control at whaich level of 'severity'
a process actually starts raising alarms about memory usage.
2019-08-10 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcMemoryLogger.h: Change protocol to pass more information.
* EcProcess.h: Update comments/documentation.
* EcProcess.m: Revise memory usage code to
Provide resident and data memory stats to the memory logger
Refrain from generating alerts (remove MemoryIncrement and
MemoryPercent settings) having a base memory calculated
simply as the average usage after ten minutes, plus 20 percent.
Generate alarms for memory usage between the base/allowed value
and the maximum allowed value.
Add MemoryIdle setting to specify an 'idle' hour during the day
in which the process will restart if it's near maximum allowed
memory (in the critical alarm range).
Change the status reporting to improve readability.
2019-08-06 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Prevent repeated clears of alarms for newly connected
clients. Use a flag to record that a client is considered 'stable'
and has already had alarms cleared.
2019-07-15 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Change -ecWillQuit: behavior so that repeated calls are ignored rather
than causing the process to abort; the risk of accidentally aborting
during a clean shutdown (effectively turning the shutdown into a
crash) is greater than any utility in having quit force an abort (the
OS 'kill' command is adequate for that) of any process still capable
of responding to the request over Distributed Objects.
Added method to see how long we have been quitting, and method to
set how long we are allowed to quit.
2019-07-12 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Have ecHandleQuit call ecDidQuit in the main thread. That way an
application can make the handling run in one thread, and still
have the final shutdown done in the main thread.
2019-05-31 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Add EcMemoryTypeto control what type of memory usage we track:
Total, Resident, or Data (stack and heap).
2019-05-31 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.h:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Tweaks to allow a new Command process to ask running clients to
reconnect to it immediately, so that it doesn;t try to launch
client processes unnecessarily.
2019-05-28 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: Stream alarm information to Console for Wolfgang.
2019-05-27 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcUserDefaults.h:
* EcUserDefaults.m:
Extend API to allow temporary defaults overrides to have a specific
limited life span (an interval after which they can be purged from
the defaults database).
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m: Change error about long lived defaults to be warning.
Change 'defaults' command to support specific lifetime settings from
1 to 168 hours. Add APIs for logging exceptions and other unexpected
software/data errors using NSLog() and alarms.
Add convenience macros for logging exeptions or code/data errors.
2019-05-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlerter.m: Allow dot to match line separators so we can readily
work with multi-line text.
2019-05-22 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlerter.m: Add capture group support for Extra1 and Extra2
2019-05-21 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: For 'quit all' fix code to wait 35 seconds before
sending a second quit to recalcitrant processes.
For 'restart all', do not send a second restart to processes as
that would force a quit in the middle of shutting down cleanly,
instead wait up to 35 seconds for all processes to shut down.
2019-05-14 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcCommand.m: Replace -terminate with -terminate: method.
* Terminate.m: Extend termination to control the time allowed for the
graceful shutdown (default to 30 seconds).
2019-05-14 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcCommand.m: New method to return count of active clients.
* Terminate.m: New help output and option to wait until Command
server shuts down (printing out number of active clients).
2019-05-09 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Add status command for daiagnostics.
2019-05-05 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
Rewrite code for launching/relaunching processes so that a crashing
process will not get relaunched too frequently (eg filling a disk
with core dumps). We employ a fibonacci sequence to produce
increasing delays between successive launch failures (starting with
a tenth of a second). This sequence is not reset simply because a
process launches successfully, the process must also stay alive and
respond to a few 'pings' before it is considered a successful launch
causing the inter-launch delay to be reset.
Also, from the second relaunch onwards in any sequence of failures,
the -CoreSize 0 arguments are passed to the lanched process to tell
it ti suppress core dumps.
2019-03-02 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Add KillDebugOutput option to configure a process to avoid logging
on systems where logged information should not be available for
security reasons. This option is not overidable from the Console.
2019-02-15 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: If we get an alarm clear before we have reported the
original alarm, we should report the alarm before reporting the
clear.
* EcCommand.m: Be slower to clear alarms on client startup; in case
it's just going to crash fairly immediately.
2019-02-11 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Relaunch process more rapidly, turn off alarm coalesce.
* EcControl.m: Turn off alarm coalesce
* EcProcess.[hm]: Expose the alarm destination object.
2019-02-11 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcAlerter.m: Define Regex class as a simple wrapper around
NSRegularExpression.
2019-02-08 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcAlerter.m: Only ignore invalid rules in setRules: and update
the cached rules with the remaining rules.
2019-02-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Allow the Command server to launch multiple tasks at
the same time. Provide LaunchLimit config to specify the maximum
number of concurrent launches (in case launching a large number of
processes all at once would overload the hardware). Once the limit
of launching tasks is reached, new tasks should be launched as and
when launching tasks complete their startup and register with the
Command server.
Add suspend and resume command to control whether the Command server
will actually launch/relaunch tasks, along with a LaunchStartSuspended
user default to control whether launching starts as soon as the Command
server starts up (by default launching is not suspended on startup).
2018-12-11 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Improve alarm generation to cover the case of hung
processes better.
2018-11-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Remove excess comma which was messing up the printf
formatting of the output of the --help option.
2018-11-22 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Report host name when we report that there are no
clients.
* EcControl.m: When a 'tell' command is not sent to a specific host,
it should go to all the hosts, not to a random one.
2018-11-09 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
EcProcess.m: Call ecAwaken only after registration at the name
server was successful.
2018-10-24 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlerter.m: Fix off by one error in getting string after colon.
* EcProcess.m: Correct the number of hex digits we say we want when
reading in an encryption key.
* EcControl.m: Improve logging of Console commands and add casts and
comments to avoid compiler warnings about using an NSHost as a
dictionary key.
* Control.m: Change the name of the encryption key we prompt for,
from 'EcControlKey' to 'master encryption key'.
2018-07-30 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h: Add LT_CONSOLE for messages to be reported in the console
and also be logged to file as an audit log.
* EcProcess.m: Add LT_CONSOLE implementation/
* EcCommand.m: Use LT_CONSOLE for messages about process start/stop.
* EcControl.m: Add option to turn on/off audit log reporting in Console
and make it off by default, so we only see audit style logs
specifically intended for the Console
2018-06-26 armando.pesentigritti@theengagehub.com
* EcControl.m: Make some events audit logs where they might be security
or system stability related.
2018-06-25 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlerter.h:
* EcAlerter.m:
Extend to permit (simple) handling of audit logs as well as
error/alert/alarm.
New -handleAudit:withHost:andServer:timestamp: method.
2018-06-24 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Change quit API to handle the quit in the main thread consistently and
also provide a mechanism to ensure that handling a quit does not block
other methods on which graceful shutdown depends.
2018-06-12 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcClientI.h:
* EcClientI.m:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.m:
When we restart clients, store that information so that, when the
client unregisters, we can immediately add them to the set of
processes to be launched again (and ensure the next launch attempt
is in 0.5 of a second or less). Improve audit messages for restart.
Remove restart command from individual processes so that it is
reliably done from Command server.
2018-05-10 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* Control.m:
* EcControl.m:
* Command.m:
* EcCommand.m:
On restart of the Command server, lanch the new copy after half a
second rather than the normal 30 seconds.
2018-04-05 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m: Do not try to compress old debug files if there is
not enough space on the filesystem for both the uncompressed and
compressed versions to co-exist while compressing. Instead delete
the file and generate an error message.
2018-03-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: Allow EcControlKeyTest to be defined to supply a key
without requring it to be entered from the terminal. This is solely
to enable automated testing of systems.
2018-03-02 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* Control.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Allow EcControlKey to be an MD5 digest of the expected key, so we can
easily tell if the expected key was entered correctly.
Expose method to request entry of a hexadecimal key, with checking
against an MD5 digest of the expected value.
2018-02-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* AlarmTool.m: Add default values for arguments, suitable for sending
a test/dummy alarm as an example.
* Control.m:
* EcControl.m:
* ECCL.h:
Add support for EcControlKey to force a value to be entered from the
terminal and have that value made available to all processes in the
cluster (eg so they can use a common encryption key not from disk).
2018-02-20 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
EcAlerter.h:
EcAlerter.m:
New type 'Raise' to match only an alarm being raised. Behavior of
'Alarm' changed to match both 'Raise' and 'Clear' (and reminders as
long as ReminderInterval matches).
2018-01-05 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
EcProcess.h:
EcProcess.m: New -ecRestart: method called when we pass the maximum
memory usage limit or when a restart command is issued. The default
implementation calls the -ecQuitFor:status: method using a status of
minus one so that the Command server will restart the program after
it shuts down.
EcCommand.m: New Launch option 'Time' to specify how long after a
crash we attempt to re-start an autolaunched program.
Control.plist: Document launch options better
2018-01-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
EcProcess.h: Improve comments.
EcProcess.m: Avoid warning about unknown connection on shutdown.
Rewrite config update code to catch exceptions, ensure that methods
are called in the correct order so that -cmdUpdated is always last,
and ensure that -cmdUpdated is called when a local defaults update
occurs. Also, ignore config updates while process is quitting.
2017-12-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
EcCommand.m: Change default period to start compressing logs to 7 days
and default for starting del;eting logs to 180 days.
2017-11-02 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m: New methods for handling clean quitting with abort
if it takes too long. Fix the directory in which nightly archived
logs are placed.
2017-09-18 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Fix for repeated log archiving on startup.
2017-08-09 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcProcess.m(ecNewDay:):
Fix bug where archiving was no longer run every day unless some
defaults had been changed locally.
2017-06-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Replace cmdArchive: with ecArchive: changing the log file archiving
model to archive files primarily based on their last modification
date. Fixes the bug where files were archived to a folder with the
wrong date on startup, and simplifies archiving code generally.
Move startup of timeouts to -ecRun so that they won't occur until
after all initialisation. Add -ecAwaken, -ecDidAwaken, and
-ecConfigurationError: to make it easy to initialise stuff at the
start of -ecRun and to ignore config updates before that happens.
Improve diagnostic logging for registration failure.
2017-03-06 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.h:
* EcAlarmDestination.m:
Change signature of -setDebug: method to be consistent with other
classes using a method of the same name.
2017-01-30 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcAlarmSinkSNMP.m (pollHeartBeat_handler): Don't use memdup,
which is replaced by netsnmp_memdup with a different interface in
net-snmp 5.7.3.
2016-07-20 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* EcConsole.m (-ecRun): Pass distantFuture to -runMode:beforeDate:
to prevent returning immediately from the run loop after recent
gnustep-base changes.
2016-06-09 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcControl.m: Fix bug where alerter config was not always updated
when changed, and where Control server defaults were lost during
alerter updates.
2016-05-18 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: When changing log files on a nightly basis, don't
close descriptor 2 (stderr). Instead open the new log and use
dup2() to switch the new log to be stderr. Wolfgang spotted that
the existing code allowed another thread to ned up using the
descriptor if it opened a device in the gap between the old log
file being closed and the new one opened.
2016-01-21 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarm.h:
* EcAlarm.m:
* EcAlarmDestination.m: When coalescing alarms, allow a clear and
alarm to cancel each other out, but only if the alarm is not yet
active (only queued). Allow alarms to be set to persist in the queue
for up to 255 seconds to allow more coalescing.
This lets us raise an alarm which, if cleared within the delay
period, will never be forwarded anywhere.
2015-11-18 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Improve output when changing/reading defaults, and
restore tolerant behavior of doing a read by default.
* ECAlerter.h:
* ECAlerter.m: Remove obsolete methods, and a 'Quiet' configuration
option, and log alarms (and their disposition) by default.
2015-11-18 Niels Grewe <niels.grewe@halbordnung.de>
* EcProcess.m: Fix argument validation when reading/writing defaults.
2015-10-28 Niels Grewe <niels.grewe@halbordnung.de>
* EcConsole.m: Use readpassphrase() instead of getpass() if available.
* configure.ac
* config.make.in:
Test for readpassphrase in the C library and libbsd, link if needed.
* configure:
* config.h.in:
Regenerate
2015-10-15 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

* EcProcess.m:
Change cmdDefaultDbg to cmdBasicDbg to avoid confusion of the debug
mode with default settings.
Add 'defaults revert' command for Console to use.
2015-10-09 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h: declare new -launch: method

* LogTool.m:
* Terminate.m:
Set up well known hosts at start.
2015-07-21 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

other than a non-negative integer instance ID.
2015-07-15 Niels Grewe <niels.grewe@halbordnung.de>
* EcMemoryLogger.h
* EcProcess.m:
Add the ability to load a bundle to export memory logs to. Configured
using the 'MemoryLoggerBundle' default key.
2015-07-13 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Restore lost effect of -ecNotLeaked to moderate changes in our idea
of when we should generate a warening about potential leaks
2015-07-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Allow 'memory current' to list current object allocation values.
Report time at which memory stats are generated.
For allocation changes, also show time of previous report.
2015-07-08 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Allow the memory monitoring configuration to be set from the Console
via the 'memory' command. Improve the help text. Improve the info
provided in the debug/error reports.
2015-07-06 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Various tweaks to leak alert generation. Change default initial
thresholds and change increments after an alert to be based upon
the *peak* usage at the point when the alert was generated, rather
than on the previous threshodld. This reduces the number of alerts
in a process whose memory usage grows rapidly on startup.
2015-07-03 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
Revamp memory handling code to work with total process memory rather
than heap size. Report usage in same units as the 'ps' command.
2015-06-17 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

2015-05-31 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcLogger.m: When logging to stderr, use lock to synchronise with
logs produced by gnustep-base NSLog().
2015-05-29 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmSinkSNMP.m: log SNMP errors via the main logging mechanism
or NSLog.
* EcControl.m: fix failure to perform includes in some cases.
* EcAlerter.m: tidyups
2015-03-26 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* Control.plist:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcProcess.h:
* EcProcess.m:
New options for dealing with I/O. In EcProcess we can set
EcKeepStandardError to keep the stderr stream separate from the
debug logging file.
When a process is launched from the Command server, we can define
KeepStandardInput, KeepStandardOutput, and KeepStandardError flags
in the task info to stop the standard streams from being closed.
2015-03-19 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m:

2015-02-02 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.m: When coalescing alarms, do not coalesce a
clear with anything other than an earlier clear for the same event.
We do not want to risk forwarding a clear without a preceding
event raising the alarm.
2015-01-26 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* GNUmakefile.preamble: fixup gcc flag filtering
* EcClientI.h:
EcClientI.m:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcControl.m:
* EcProcess.h:

Implement forced kill by -terminate method if a client fails to
close down gracefully within 30 seconds.
2015-01-19 Wolfgang Lux <wolfgang.lux@gmail.com>
* GNUmakefile.preamble: Fix wrong option letter in sed command.
2015-01-15 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.m: When shutting down, only wait for the
background thread first time ... otherwise we could get into a
recursive loop calling the -shutdown method while
waiting for shutdown to complete.
2015-01-07 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* configure.ac:
* GNUMakefile.preamble:
Filter out fstack-protect-strong from snmp cflags because clang
doesn't support it.
2014-11-28 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

Add method to register a user default / configuration key to have
updates for a default automatically trigger a method to handle it,
and to provide 'help' documentation for command line arguments.
* EcCommand.m:
Implement 'restart' command for when we want to quit a server and
have it start up again.
2014-11-01 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m: Check for descriptor leaks at 1 minute intervals,
and shut down if EcDescriptorsMaximum is exceeded or if the
process runs out of descriptors.
2014-10-23 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcCommand.m:
* Control.plist:
Add LaunchOrder config to control the order in which services are
handled by the Command server. By default we now do them in
lexicographic order rather than leaving the order undefined.
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:

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).

2014-02-22 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcAlarmDestination.h:
* EcAlarmDestination.m:
When clearing an alarm, forward the clear to the next destination
unless we have already done so.
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.
2013-11-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
* EcProcess.m:
* EcCommand.m:
* EcClientI.h:
* EcClientI.m:
