2009-10-28nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderrEric Blake
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk. For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform the user about failure to change priority is dangerous. * src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message to stderr fails. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice: Test this. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise. * NEWS: Document this.
2009-10-23nohup: use EXIT_CANCELED if not POSIXLY_CORRECTEric Blake
* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE): Rename... (POSIX_NOHUP_FAILURE): ...to this. (main): Pay attention to POSIXLY_CORRECT, to determine whether to use status 125 or 127. * doc/coreutils.texi (nohup invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise.
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

2006-03-23(main): Ignore fd_reopen return value when ignoring input, sincePaul Eggert
we've closed input at that point so we are ignoring input.
2006-03-23(main): nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup nowPaul Eggert
redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2005-08-12(main): Explain why we reopen stdin for write-only access.Jim Meyering
2005-07-15(main): Don't worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.Paul Eggert
2005-07-03Include fd-reopen.h.Paul Eggert
Include unistd--.h, not unistd-safer.h. (main): Use fd_reopen to simplify code. When replacing stdin, use "/dev/null" not "/", as that's less likely to go wrong these days. (main): Use dup, not dup_safer.
2005-06-03Fix typo in comment.Paul Eggert
2005-06-02Don't use "path" or "filename".Paul Eggert
2005-05-26Fix typo in comment.Paul Eggert
2005-05-26nohup now redirects a tty stdin to an unreadable fd instead of closing it.Paul Eggert
2005-05-14Update FSF postal mail address.Jim Meyering
2005-05-14Update FSF postal mail address.Jim Meyering
2005-05-12(main): nohup now closes stdin if it is a terminal, unlessPaul Eggert
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2005-04-23(main): If getopt fails, exit with status 127, not status 1.Paul Eggert
2005-04-11Include unistd-safer.h.Paul Eggert
(main): Don't dup stderr to stdin or stdout by mistake.
2005-04-05(usage): Mention that some shells provide aJim Meyering
built-in function by the same name.
2005-03-19(main): nohup now ignores the umask when creating nohup.out.Paul Eggert
nohup now closes stderr if it is a terminal and stdout is closed. Be a little more paranoid about return values; e.g., check for any negative return from open. Assume free (NULL) works. Close file descriptor leak when redirecting standard output to a file.
2004-11-17(main): Use getopt_long rather than getopt.Paul Eggert
2004-09-21Include <getopt.h>.Paul Eggert
(main): Reject unknown options.
2004-08-03(main): Use bool for booleans.Paul Eggert
2004-07-04(main): Don't pass NULL first argument to path_concat.Jim Meyering
This cleans up the semantics a bit, as we no longer try to open the same file twice.
2004-06-21(main): Standardize on the diagnostics given when someone givesJim Meyering
too few operands ("missing operand after `xxx'") or too many operands ("extra operand `xxx'"). Include "quote.h" and/or "error.h" if it wasn't already being included.
2004-04-20(main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]:Jim Meyering
Use simpler "signal (sig, SIG_IGN)" rather than sigaction equivalent.
2004-04-04(main): Adjust to new calling convention for set_cloexec_flag.Jim Meyering
2004-03-04(main): Don't invoke set_cloexec_flag with a file descriptor of -1.Jim Meyering
2004-03-03Include "cloexec.h".Jim Meyering
(main): Set the copy of stderr to close on exec.
2004-01-21(usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.Jim Meyering
(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL. (main): Use EXIT_ENOENT and EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE rather than roll-your-own symbols or integers. (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Remove; all uses changed to EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE.
2003-11-05Cast NULL to `(char *)' in call to variadic function,Jim Meyering
parse_long_options, so that it works even on systems for which sizeof char* != sizeof int.
2003-10-18Most .c files (AUTHORS): Revert the WRITTEN_BY/AUTHORS changeJim Meyering
of 2003-09-19. Now, AUTHORS is a comma-separated list of strings. Update the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters. * src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list. * src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.
2003-09-18(WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.Jim Meyering
Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'. Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.
2003-09-18revert previous changeJim Meyering
2003-09-18Update AUTHORS definition to be a comma-separated list of strings and/or updateJim Meyering
the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters.
2003-07-23Don't include headers already included by system.h:Jim Meyering
Don't include closeout.h.
2003-07-18(NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):Jim Meyering
Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.
