  1. Command line argument processing is always going to be a messy business, being at the human-machine interface. Guile software developers have a plethora of tools available to address the problem, but usually with some outstanding issue or other. Here is my take on the matter in the context of #mcron.

  6. @jjba23 This is well cool, though at the end of the day does almost the same jobs as #shepherd, #init and #mcron: kick arbitrary guile code off whenever the circumstances are right.

    I personally see the short-term future going in the direction of Goblins\shepherd. Once fully functional I think there will be all sorts of possibilities for using it in diverse scenarios, from system initialization to project building and HPC scheduling.

    Keep up the good work, it is only moving us forwards! #guix

    What is the context of this QA query?

    #mcron is maintained by somebody called Adam Bilbrough with whom I have no contact; please see the GNU Savannah project page.

    You can get my latest version by cloning rdmp.org/dmbcs/mcron.git.

    What is an RM?

    I'm happy to help however I can, what would you like me to do?

  8. I have some scripts still in bash rather than #babashka because all they are doing is calling other programs. But the one that is in my #guix #mcron was apparently suffering for lack of controlled #ExitStatus. Oi, Bash, I never knew thee.
