Hello,
This is to inform you that GNU pies version 1.9 is available for download.
This is a stable release. See the end of this message for a list of
important changes.
GNU pies (pronounced "p-yes") is a program invocation and execution
supervisor, a utility that launches several programs and controls their
execution. The utility can be used, in particular, as a service manager
('init' program) both for normal computers and for docker containers.

Noteworthy changes in this release:
* return-code statement accepts negations
Negated status codes or signal numbers can appear in the argument list
to the "return-code" command. The syntax is:
!0 any status code except 0 !EX_OK same as above !SIGQUIT any
signal except SIGQUIT !SIG+10 any signal except 10
For example, the following statement:
return-code (!0, !SIGHUP, !SIGQUIT) {
notify root;
}
will notify root user if the program exits with any status, except 0 or
gets terminated with any signal, except SIGHUP and SIGQUIT.
* New flag: deansify
To be used together with "stderr" or "stdout" statements. This flag
instructs pies to remove ANSI escape sequences from program output before
redirecting it to syslog or a file.
* Syslog subsystem
** Syslog socket is opened on demand.
** New syslog statement: message-queue-size
The statement configures the capacity of the internal log message queue.
Defaults to 64.
** New syslog statement: fallback-ignore-failures
This boolean statement controls how the program handles I/O errors
occurring when writing to the log fallback file. By default, such
errors cause abnormal program termination. This is based on the fact
that log fallback is the last resort when attempting to inform the user
about some condition. If logging is not that critical, set this value
to true. This instructs pies to disable log fallback file when such an
error occurs.
* Fix possible double close of redirector descriptors

Sergey
