--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hello, I'm not doing any work on launchtool, and I'm not using it, so it's time to orphan it. I had a plan to dismember launchtool and merge the various parts in start-stop-daemon and in a simpler non-daemon, supervisor tool. However, I also don't see myself having time or need to do that anytime soon. For reference, I post here the plan I had for launchtool to transcend to something better. Most of the work should be rather straightforward, as it's based on the existing code. Most of the code in common/ is now maintained in the wibble library (libwibble-dev) and can just be dropped. It can all be a fun programming excercise for people who have more time than I do. * The plan for transcendency Launchtool is a bit like start-stop-daemon. The differences are: - launchtool is more featureful; - start-stop-daemon is more tested. Ideally, features should be ported from launchtool to start-stop-daemon. The best way to do so, is to remove daemonisation and pidfile features from launchtool and just turn it into an application wrapper that handles restart policies and logging. Features that are already in start-stop-daemon: -k, --kill[=signal] --check -d, --daemon, “daemon” -n, --no-daemon --pidfile, “pidfile” --no-pidfile --piddir=dir, “piddir” --chroot=dir, “root dir” --chdir=dir, “start dir” -u, --user=user, “user” -g, --group=group, “group” --umask=mask, “umask” Features that can be implemented in a simple wrapper/supervisor command: -L, --infinite-runs, “infinite runs” --no-infinite-runs --wait-times=t1,t2,... , “wait times” --good-running-time=seconds, “good running time” --forwarded-signals=sig1,sig2,... , “forwarded signals” --blocked-signals=sig1,sig2,... , “blocked signals” --limit-cpu=seconds, “cpu limit” --limit-file-size=1024b-blocks, “file size limit” --limit-data-memory=1024b-blocks, “data memory limit” --limit-process-count=count, “process count limit” --limit-open-files=count, “open files limit” --limit-core-size=1024b-blocks, “core size limit” --restrict-environment, “restrict environment” --no-restrict-environment --allowed-env-vars=var1,var2,... , “allowed env vars” --log-launchtool-output=target, “launchtool output” --log-launchtool-errors=target, “launchtool errors” --log-child-output=target, “command output” --log-child-errors=target, “command errors” --silent-restart-status=value, “silent restart status” --silent-restart-time=seconds, “silent restart time” --stats, “stats” --no-stats Other TODO items: - Port to wibble. - Improve commandline help: give a summary of the kind of options and implement --help-something subpages to avoid cluttering the screen presenting them all in a single run - Improve environment management; see if there's a "proper" way to create a clean environment - Add an option to directly execute command and arguments instead of passing them to sh -c Ciao, Enrico
