How about a syntax a bit more like this? We could make this more
generic so we might be able to pass in other hints later. Perhaps
call it /etc/func/methods.conf
[command]
run = async
[virt]
install = async, not_on_tuesday
[yumcmd]
update = async
I don't have any good ideas for what "hints" might be, but that
strikes me as being a bit more editable if there are later 50 methods
in there.
Maybe it could be used to specify something like timeout. If we run in
async, this would mean how long we should poll before returning with
error. One could also specify interval between polls. But is this
useful ?
I think it is.
If we are scripting a yum update operation, a valid timeout might be
several hours, but if it were to take
longer we've selected a very bad mirror and it might as well be an
error. For other operations, we might
want to know about that sooner, and we could possibly kill the pid.
FYI, this ended up off-list, if it's ok with you, you can fwd it.
