[Sqlgrey-users] Configuration enhancement request (time units)

[Klaus A. S. <kse...@gm...>]

Hi,

SQLgrey relies on quite a few time related variables --
reconnect-delay, max-connect-age, awl-age, and others -- but unless a
commented configuration fils is used, there is no way of knowing the
time unit of a given variable.  E.g., the re-connect-delay takes
minutes, the max-connect-age takes hours, the awl-age takes days, and
so on...

To make the values more intuitive, I suggest that times be given by
appending specific units (e.g. w=3Dweeks, d=3Ddays, h=3Dhours, m=3Dminutes,
s=3Dseconds), and that SQLgrey converts to whatever unit it uses
internally (seconds?).  Composite values should be possible, e.g.
10m11s =3D=3D 671 seconds.

Btw, my mx is running SQLgrey 1.4.0.  This version uses a variable,
maint_delay, for controlling when to do household cleaning.  However,
the default value is 0 (seconds), meaning that cleanup is trigerred by
each mail that arrives.  On a busy site this might not be optimal, but
the value doesn't seem to be configurable...

Cheers,
