Statistical tests of the modified mt_rand() in PHP 7.1

The implementation of mt_rand() has changed in PHP 7.1.0beta1

• https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rng_fixes
• php/php-src#1986

Among other things, bugs #71152 and #45184 were fixed.

I ran the output through this version of dieharder and this version of PractRand. It is hard to test a PHP binary with TestU01 because it has no facility to accept input from stdin.

Controling a group of daemons and timer jobs with a systemd target

Scenario

The custom web application My App, in addition to its web server request-driven work, has three daemons (able, baker and charlie) and three jobs (dog, easy and fox) that run (cron-like) on a pre-defined schedule.
