I have added this now:
% bin/schroot/schroot -h
Usage:
[...]
Session actions:
--automatic-session Begin, run and end a session automatically (default)
-b [ --begin-session ] Begin a session; returns a session ID
--recover-session Recover an existing session
-r [ --run-session ] Run an existing session
-e [ --end-session ] End an existing session
Session options:
-n [ --session-name ] arg Session name (defaults to an automatically
generated name)
-f [ --force ] Force operation, even if it fails
So you may simply run:
% schroot -c chroot -b -n my_session_name
(or --session-name=my_session_name).
I wanted to add this to the -b option as an optional argument, but the
options parsing library doesn't permit optional args (due to the
ambiguity I think, since the following arg might or might not be an
option)
I just have one small change to make to the session setup code.
Currently, if you create the same session name twice, the second will
fail to acquire a lock, but then the cleanup code gets run and the
first running session is blown away as all its processes are reaped.
Once this is done and tested, it will be ready to upload.
Regards,
Roger
