pref/jobOutput: Write job output to disk.

[dshearer]

• Should be possible to have jobber write each job's stdout and stderr to disk.
• Only job owner can read logs for that job.

This is tricky to do securely, especially if the user can specify where the logs are written.

well, you could keep the job results in an internal database (eg boltdb) owned only by jobberd, and give users access to the results through a jobber command. each job execution could have an execution UUID, and then "jobber stdout UUID" would give the stdout output for that execution...

👍 For writing job runs and output to file please

FYI I plan to get this done. It's taken a while b/c I had to rearchitect the damn thing.

This config:

[prefs]
jobOutput:
    stdout:
        where: /path/to/job/output
        maxAgeDays: 90
    stderr:
        where: /path/to/job/output
        maxAgeDays: 90

[jobs]
- name: ForgetStdout
   ...
   jobOutput:
       stdout: null

- name: ChangeStderrMaxAge
   ...
   jobOutput:
       stderr:
           maxAgeDays: 120

Produces:

- /path/to/job/output/
    - ForgetStdout/
        - 1519083883.stdout
        - 1519083943.stdout
        - 1519084003.stdout
    - ChangeStderrMaxAge/
        - 1519083883.stdout
        - 1519083883.stderr
        - 1519083943.stdout
        - 1519083943.stderr
        - 1519084003.stdout
        - 1519084003.stderr
