Subject: Progress: exit prep work, reserve and implement "setting" in entries and exits, add... 
X-Git-Tag: 0.5.3~27
X-Git-Url: https://git.kevux.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec8f7b14fd0b0e22f21434d0178c88c590a9280d;p=fll

Progress: exit prep work, reserve and implement "setting" in entries and exits, add option to "ready', and update documentation.

Add documentation, specifications, and basic structural changes for the "exit" files.

The "entry" and "exit" files now reserve "setting" for designating settings.
Currently, only "entry" supports a setting and that setting is "mode".

The "mode" setting designates how the entry program is intended to behave.
When operating as a "service", the controller program will wait indefinitely for commands (via the not yet implemented "control" program or "control" socket).
When operating as a "program", the controller program will immediately exit after completion.

The "ready" Entry Action now supports "wait".
When "wait" is provided, the "ready" operation will wait for all current asynchronous processes to complete before operating.

Update documentation and specifications, adding the "exit" files.
Cleanup the existing documentation and specifications, fixing wording.

+Exit Documentation:
+  This describes the intent and purpose of the Exit file settings.
+
+  An Exit file, such as "default.exit", is intended to store a set of rules in which the controller will process on execution.
+  These are used to run some set of commands, such as shutting down a system.
+
+  The "main" Item Object is always executed first (Therefore "main" is both reserved and required).
+  All other Basic List Objects are not executed unless either an "item" or a "failsafe" specifies a valid Item name.
+  Execution of all Items are top-down.
+
+  The "setting" Item Object represents settings and is not an "item" that can be executed.
+  A number of settings are supported, but if this Item Object is not specified, then defaults are used.
+  There are no settings are available.
+
+  Each item supports the following Action Names: "consider", "failsafe", "item", "ready", "rule", and "timeout".
+
+  The "consider" Action is a special case of a "rule" Action.
+  All Action Parameters are the same as with the "rule" Action Parameters.
+  The difference is that "consider" is only processed (instead of being processed and executed) and when some "rule" Action designates that this consideration is required (via "need"), wanted (via "want"), or wished for (via "wish") from the within the Rule file.
+  If this is determined to be executed, then this is immediately executed when needed, wanted or wished for and applies all properties as appropriate (such as "asynchronous", for example).
+  If this is determined not to be executed, then this "consider" is ignored as if it was never there in the first place.
+
+  The "failsafe" Action accepts only a valid Item Name in which will be executed when a failure is detected.
+  Only a single "failsafe" Action may exist at a time.
+  Each successive "failsafe" Action specified replaces the previously defined "failsafe" Action (in a top-down manner).
+  When operating in "failsafe", the "require" Action is ignored given that it is meaningless once operating in failsafe.
+
+  The "item" Action accepts only a valid Item Name in which will be immediately executed.
+  Any valid Item Name, except for the reserved "main", may be used.
+
+  The "ready" Action instructs the controller program when it is safe to perform stop tasks.
+  A stop task is simply informing all controlled processes to stop.
+  When not specified, the state is always assumed to be ready (all controlled processes are immediately informed to stop).
+
+  The "rule" Action immediately executes a named rule file.
+  The first Action Parameter represents the rule directory, which is a relative directory path the rule file is to be found.
+    - Do not include leading or trailing slashes.
+    - This is relative to the settings rules directory.
+  The second Action Parameter represents the basename for the rule file, without the file extension.
+    - This must not have any directory paths.
+  The remaining Action Parameters may be specified in any order\:
+    - "asynchronous": Designates that execution will not block (wait).
+    - "require": Designates that this rule must succeed or trigger execution of failsafe.
+    - "wait": Designates that this rule will not execute until all other Actions before this (including "asynchronous" ones) finish executing (in a top-down manner).
+
+  The full path to the "rule" is relative to the settings, such that if the controller rule settings are found in "/etc/controller/rules/", then for a directory called "[directory]" and a rule basename of "[basename]", the resulting path would be: "/etc/controller/rules/[directory]/[basename].rule"
+
+  It is important to note that for any given "rule", execution within that "rule" may be internally asynchronous (even if the "rule" is synchronous).
+  For example, a service that is often called a daemon will execute in the background.
+  Until that execution succeeds and the daemon goes into the background the representing rule will block.
+  After the daemon goes into the background, then the representing rule will be fully executed.
+
+  Any "rule" specified in this Exit file is always executed using the "stop" rule action type.
+
+  The "timeout" Action provides default global settings for each of the three special situations: "start", "stop", and "kill".
+  Each of these may only have a single one exist at a time (one "start", one "stop", and one "kill").
+  Each successive "timeout" Action, specific to each Action Name (such as "start"), specified replaces the previously defined "timeout" Action (in a top-down manner).
+  Each of these accepts a single Action Parameter that is a 0 or greater whole number representing the number of MegaTime (MT) (equivalent to milliseconds).
+  For "start", this represents the number of MegaTime to wait after starting some rule before assuming something went wrong and the rule is returned as failed.
+  For "stop", this represents the number of MegaTime to wait after stopping some rule before assuming something went wrong and the rule is returned as failed.
+  For "kill", this represents the number of MegaTime to wait after stopping some rule and that rule has not yet stopped to forcefully stop the rule (aka kill the rule).
+  The timeouts are generally only valid for services such as daemon services.
+  A value of 0 disables this (prevents any action).
