nsnotifyd-2.3 released

D’oh, I lost track of a bug report that should have been fixed in nsnotifyd-2.2. Thus, hot on the heels of the previous release, here’s nsnotifyd-2.3. Sorry for causing extra work to my uncountably many users!

The nsnotifyd daemon monitors a set of DNS zones and runs a command when any of them change. It listens for DNS NOTIFY messages so it can respond to changes promptly. It also uses each zone’s SOA refresh and retry parameters to poll for updates if nsnotifyd does not receive NOTIFY messages more frequently. It comes with a client program nsnotify for sending notify messages.

This nsnotifyd-2.3 release includes some bug fixes:

When nsnotifyd receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM while running the command, it failed to handle it correctly. Now it exits promptly.

Many thanks to Athanasius for reporting the bug!
Miscellaneous minor code cleanup and compiler warning suppression.

Thanks also to Dan Langille who sent me a lovely appreciation:

Now that I think of it, nsnotifyd is in my favorite group of software. That group is software I forget I’m running, because they just run and do the work. For years. I haven’t touched, modified, or configured nsnotifyd and it just keeps doing the job.
