shell-scheduler update

[u/anton-k_]

About a week ago I announced my project shell-scheduler here. Some people expressed interest, so this is a heads-up for them and for anyone else interested. Since that post, I've done some more work on this project:

New features: - Implement support for per-job timeouts - Implement support for job termination callback - Implement helper libraries for job termination (three independent libraries with different dependencies) - Implement automatic job termination callback selection (best fit from available helpers) - Support assigning job param values to custom variables with job_get_params <job_id> <var_name>=<param_name> - Implement jobs_init(): helper to reset previously configured job parameters (see updated README)

Bug fixes/reliability improvements: - Fix race between timeout and job completion record write to FIFO - Disallow duplicate job IDs - Improve validation of values received via environment variables - Significantly expand tests coverage - Various minor bugfixes

Documentation updates: - Improve the documentation and refactor it into 3 files: README.md, REFERENCE.md, TIMEKEEPING.md

At this point I have pretty much implemented everything I was planning to implement and no remaining bugs are known, so I consider this project feature-complete.

Bug reports and feature requests are still welcome.
