Hi,
I just pushed changes which will automatically start a systemtap server
on the local host, if one is not available, when 'server' is specified
as part of EXTRA_TOOL_OPTS when running 'make check' or 'make
installcheck'. e.g.
make EXTRA_TOOLS_OPTS=server check
make EXTRA_TOOLS_OPTS=server installcheck
If a compatible server is already available, it will be used and no new
server will be started. If a server is started, it will be stopped after
the test run completes.
As part of this, there are some new client/server tools available:
stap-find-or-start-server -- starts a systemtap server on the local
host, if one is not already available
stap-find-servers [--all] -- prints a list of available compatible servers.
If --all is specified, prints a list of
all available servers
stap-start-server -- starts a systemtap server on the local
host and prints its PID
stap-stop-server PID -- verifies that the specified PID is a local
systemtap server and stops it
Let me know if there are any problems, comments or concerns,
Dave
