[Nagiosplug-devel] Nagios::Plugin api

[Lawrence, Lynne]

I believe that if you put the signal handler in the BEGIN{} block of
Nagios::Plugin it will take effect when the class is loaded with the
'use' statement, even before object creation:
 
package Nagios::Plugin;
use strict;
 
our
%STAT=('OK'=>0,'WARNING'=>1,'CRITICAL'=>2,'UNKNOWN'=>3,'DEPENDENT'=>4);
 
BEGIN { $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { die_exit(@_) }; }
.
.
.
sub die_exit {
    my $fmt = shift;
    printf("Execution Error: " . $fmt, @_);
    exit($STAT{UNKNOWN},);
}
 
This way users would not have to include it in plugin scripts.
 
Best Regards,
 
Lynne Lawrence

	You'd want it to work before an object was created, or if you
didn't have a Plugin object in the current scope, so I think die() would
have to be exported by the module and called functionally (it would also
work as a method).
	 
	I've messed with exit handlers before; after I get through my
current list of stuff I'll work on this.

		I like the idea of overloading die - keeps it v simple -
but only if it doesn't need to be specified at the plugin script (eg,
can we get it automatically just by use Nagios::Plugin?).
		
		
		Also, does that mean the object will return the data? Or
all the setup stuff is class data?
