This release of paexec was successfully tested on the following
platforms: NetBSD-6.1/amd64, OpenBSD-5.3/i386, FreeBSD-8.3/i386,
Solaris-10/sparc, Solaris-11/amd64 and diverse Linux/{i386,amd64}.
paexec is now selfcontained, libmaa is not needed anymore.
Presentation paexec.pdf was added to presentation/. I hope it will
help easier understand how "paexec" works. It is installed to
${DOCDIR}.
paexec:
- POSIX-2008 getline(3) is used for reading lines
instead of home-made function.
- t '' is equivalent to "no transport", spaces are trimmed.
- "-n +NNN" has higher priority than -t, i.e. if they both are
specified, transport is ignored.
- Fix for -W1.
- Environment variable PAEXEC_EOT was introduced.
- Option -y was added to paexec(1) and paexec_reorder(1).
- Option -C was added to paexec(1).
paexec_reorder:
- Option -x was added to paexec_reorder(1).
A number of fixes and improvements in regression tests.
paexec:
- fixed: NULL dereference when the first line given on input is
empty. Thanks to Sergey Revyako for bug report!
- fixed: entire command passed tp ssh-like transport should be
shquoted. In particular this fixes -x that didn't work with -t.
Thanks to Sergey Revyako for bug report!
- 'paexec -g' accepts empty strings as tasks.
- More regression tests were added
paexec_reorder.1:
- Mistype fix
paexec:
- Option -x was added. With its help paexec can run one command
per task. If -g is also specified, command's exit status is
analysed. Appropriate task and dependants are marked as "failed"
if it is non-zero.
- First character of -n argument must be alphanumeric, `+', `_',
`:' or `/'. Other symbols are reserved for future extentions.
- With '-n :filename' paexec reads a list of nodes from the
specified file.
- With a help of new option '-m t=<eot>' end of task string
may be specified, which is an empty line by default.
- Option -md=<delim> was added that overrides the default
delimiter (space character) between tasks in graph mode (-g).
- Output line that contains failed dependants no longer ends with
unnecessary space.
- Long options were completely removed.
paexec_reorder:
- Fix. "paexec_reorder -g" now handles correctly failed tasks'
output. One extra line after "fatal" is expected.
- Options -m was added. It does the same things as paexec's -m.
More examples of use and regression tests.
Documentation update, clean-ups and improvements.
Regression tests:
- Signals handling was fixed in.
- LC_ALL is always set to C in regression tests, this fixes some
problems in internationalized environment.
mk-configure>=0.23.0 is required at build time
