[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] autobuild: new config options; conf file, startup script (branch yem/limits)

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series, against the autobuilder tree, adds two new configuration
options, a sample runtime config file, and a SysV init startup script.

The two new rutime options are:
  --nice N      specify the niceness of the 'make' command
  --pid-file    file where to save the main process PID

The niceness allows limitting the impact of the autobuilder on the rest
of the job, when on a shared machine. A better solution would be to
implement a container with cgroups, but a systemd unit file would be so
much convenient! ;-)

The PID file allows to simplify the startup script, and really ensure
that we get the autobuild process' PID.

A SysV init startup script, as well as a sample defaults config file are
provided, to ease running the autobuild script as a daemon.

A sample runtime configuration file is provided as well.

Note that nothing in there is really bullet-proof...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
