HA-Tools Changelog

V2.00 - 18. Aug 2007 [ Download ]

More clearly defined the return values of hatimerun.
Added -E option to halockrun so that a distinction between locking problems and other errors is possible.

V1.12 - 14. Aug 2006 [ Download ]

Fixed a bug which caused a compile time error on systems which need -lposix4 to have nanosleep() available (Thx to Stefan Berglund for reporting and analyzing).
Fixed some warnings with -pedantic

V1.11 - 19. Jun 2006 [ Download ]

Fixed a bug in hatimerun which caused environment manipulation on some platforms. The problem was observed, analyzed and reported by Thomas Picherot.

V1.10 - 27. May 2006 [ Download ]

Introduced the possibility to specify multiple -t -k and -e options to hatimerun. This allows sending more then one signal if the process doesn't terminate after the first one.

V1.00 - 15. Mar 2005 [ Download ]

Fixed a race-condition in hatimerun which could cause zombies until the timeout appears. Thx to Michael Polivanov for the report.

V0.99.09 - 7. Jan 2003 [ Download ]

Added the test mode for halockrun. Using the -t flag halockrun can check a file for a lock, if the file is locked (e.g. by another halockrun) the PID of the process holding the lock will be printed to stdout.
minor portability improvements

V0.99.08 - 26. Oct 2001 [ Download ]

Changed halockrun to not fork. This can be changed via the "-f" option.
Made signalhandling for halockrun and hatimerun to ignore TERM, HUP, INT, PIPE, QUIT, USR1 and USR2 in the parent.
Changed exitcode of hatimerun and halockrun if the child abnormally aborts.
hatimerun will always wait fot the child to exit, even if the timeout occures.
Fixed bug which caused hatimerun to not recognize "-k HUP" on non BSD systems.
