Mikhail Teterin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Mikhail Teterin <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Alan Somers from comment #1) > This feature was added in SVN r334817. That's related, but not quite the same thing... The commit by @glebius provides for running "every X seconds" -- and is useful for frequent jobs. But it'd be difficult to use even with periodic(8) -- which still does its own locking -- because you cannot specify the desired schedule time. The feature I envisioned was a safeguard against jobs running unusually long. The feature implemented in r334817 is for jobs, that do usually run long... Try rephrasing the periodic-entries in today's /etc/crontab to use Gleb's new syntax -- so that /usr/sbin/periodic no longer needs its own locking. You cannot... Please, reopen this PR. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
