2015-04-20erts: Enable different abort signal from heartBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
By using environment variable HEART_KILL_SIGNAL, heart can now use a different signal to kill the old running Erlang. By default the signal is SIGKILL but SIGABRT may also be used by setting environment variable: HEART_KILL_SIGNAL=SIGABRT
2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

2012-10-16erts: Change ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS behaviourBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS will now terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to 0 will also terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file, i.e. same as not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS environment variable. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a negative value will let the beam wait indefinitely on the crash dump file being written. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a positive value will let the beam wait that many seconds on the crash dump file being written. A positive value will set both an alarm in beam AND a heart timeout for restart if heart is running. This is due to the change of 'heart' behavior when 'heart' is listening for a crash.

2012-10-15erts, heart: Ensure erl_crash.dump is writtenBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
When a crash dump is about to be written and we have heartbeat enabled on a system. We need time to write it before heart explicitly kills the beam.

2011-04-06heart: remove garbage appended to heart commandMichael Santos
heart:get_cmd/0 is documented to return an empty string if the command is cleared. get_cmd/0 returns 2 extra bytes: 1 byte for the trailing null, 1 byte from the op (the op is an unsigned char and 2 bytes are allocated for it in the returned buffer). 1> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,0]} 2> heart:set_cmd("echo hello"). ok 3> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[101,99,104,111,32,104,101,108,108,111,0,0]} 4> heart:clear_cmd(). ok 5> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,99]}
