=head1 NAME

Provision::Unix::Utility - utility subroutines for sysadmin tasks

=head1 VERSION

version 1.07

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Provision::Unix::Utility;
  my $util = Provision::Unix::Utility->new;

  $util->file_write($file, lines=> @lines);

This is just one of the many handy little methods I have amassed here. Rather than try to remember all of the best ways to code certain functions and then attempt to remember them, I have consolidated years of experience and countless references from Learning Perl, Programming Perl, Perl Best Practices, and many other sources into these subroutines.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Utility module is my most frequently used one. Each method has documentation but in general, all methods accept as input a list of key value pairs (named parameters).

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

All methods set and return error codes (0 = fail, 1 = success) unless otherwise stated.

Unless otherwise mentioned, all methods accept two additional parameters:

  debug - to print status and verbose error messages, set debug=>1.
  fatal - die on errors. This is the default, set fatal=>0 to override.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

  Perl.
  Scalar::Util -  built-in as of perl 5.8

Almost nothing else. A few of the methods do require certain things, like extract_archive requires tar and file. But in general, this package (Provision::Unix::Utility) should run flawlessly on any UNIX-like system. Because I recycle this package in other places (not just Provision::Unix), I avoid creating dependencies here.

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item new

To use any of the methods below, you must first create a utility object. The methods can be accessed via the utility object.

  ############################################
  # Usage      : use Provision::Unix::Utility;
  #            : my $util = Provision::Unix::Utility->new;
  # Purpose    : create a new Provision::Unix::Utility object
  # Returns    : a bona fide object
  # Parameters : none
  ############################################

=item ask

Get a response from the user. If the user responds, their response is returned. If not, then the default response is returned. If no default was supplied, 0 is returned.

  ############################################
  # Usage      :  my $ask = $util->ask( "Would you like fries with that",
  #  		           default  => "SuperSized!",
  #  		           timeout  => 30
  #               );
  # Purpose    : prompt the user for information
  #
  # Returns    : S - the users response (if not empty) or
  #            : S - the default ask or
  #            : S - an empty string
  #
  # Parameters
  #   Required : S - question - what to ask
  #   Optional : S - default  - a default answer
  #            : I - timeout  - how long to wait for a response
  # Throws     : no exceptions
  # See Also   : yes_or_no

=item extract_archive

Decompresses a variety of archive formats using your systems built in tools.

  ############### extract_archive ##################
  # Usage      : $util->extract_archive( 'example.tar.bz2' );
  # Purpose    : test the archiver, determine its contents, and then
  #              use the best available means to expand it.
  # Returns    : 0 - failure, 1 - success
  # Parameters : S - archive - a bz2, gz, or tgz file to decompress

=item cwd_source_dir

Changes the current working directory to the supplied one. Creates it if it does not exist. Tries to create the directory using perl's builtin mkdir, then the system mkdir, and finally the system mkdir with sudo.

  ############ cwd_source_dir ###################
  # Usage      : $util->cwd_source_dir( "/usr/local/src" );
  # Purpose    : prepare a location to build source files in
  # Returns    : 0 - failure,  1 - success
  # Parameters : S - dir - a directory to build programs in

=item check_homedir_ownership

Checks the ownership on all home directories to see if they are owned by their respective users in /etc/password. Offers to repair the permissions on incorrectly owned directories. This is useful when someone that knows better does something like "chown -R user /home /user" and fouls things up.

  ######### check_homedir_ownership ############
  # Usage      : $util->check_homedir_ownership();
  # Purpose    : repair user homedir ownership
  # Returns    : 0 - failure,  1 - success
  # Parameters :
  #   Optional : I - auto - no prompts, just fix everything
  # See Also   : sysadmin

Comments: Auto mode should be run with great caution. Run it first to see the results and then, if everything looks good, run in auto mode to do the actual repairs.

=item check_pidfile

check_pidfile is a process management method. It will check to make sure an existing pidfile does not exist and if not, it will create the pidfile.

   $pidfile = $util->check_pidfile( "/var/run/program.pid" );

The above example is all you need to do to add process checking (avoiding multiple daemons running at the same time) to a program or script. This is used in toaster-watcher.pl. toaster-watcher normally completes a run in a few seconds and is run every 5 minutes.

However, toaster-watcher can be configured to do things like expire old messages from maildirs and feed spam through a processor like sa-learn. This can take a long time on a large mail system so we don't want multiple instances of toaster-watcher running.

 result:
   the path to the pidfile (on success).

Example:

	my $pidfile = $util->check_pidfile( "/var/run/changeme.pid" );
	unless ($pidfile) {
		warn "WARNING: couldn't create a process id file!: $!\n";
		exit 0;
	};

	do_a_bunch_of_cool_stuff;
	unlink $pidfile;

=item chown_system

The advantage this sub has over a Pure Perl implementation is that it can utilize sudo to gain elevated permissions that we might not otherwise have.

  ############### chown_system #################
  # Usage      : $util->chown_system( "/tmp/example", user=>'matt' );
  # Purpose    : change the ownership of a file or directory

  # Parameters : S - dir    - the directory to chown
  #            : S - user   - a system username
  #   Optional : S - group  - a sytem group name
  #            : I - recurse - include all files/folders in directory?
  # Comments   : Uses the system chown binary
  # See Also   : n/a

=item clean_tmp_dir

  ############## clean_tmp_dir ################
  # Usage      : $util->clean_tmp_dir( dir=>$dir );
  # Purpose    : clean up old build stuff before rebuilding
  # Returns    : 0 - failure,  1 - success
  # Parameters : S - $dir - a directory or file.
  # Throws     : die on failure
  # Comments   : Running this will delete its contents. Be careful!

=item get_mounted_drives

  ############# get_mounted_drives ############
  # Usage      : my $mounts = $util->get_mounted_drives();
  # Purpose    : Uses mount to fetch a list of mounted drive/partitions
  # Returns    : a hashref of mounted slices and their mount points.

=item archive_file

  ############### archive_file #################
  # Purpose    : Make a backup copy of a file by copying the file to $file.timestamp.
  # Usage      : my $archived_file = $util->archive_file( $file );
  # Returns    : the filename of the backup file, or 0 on failure.
  # Parameters : S - file - the filname to be backed up
  # Comments   : none

=item chmod

=item logfile_append

   $util->logfile_append( file=>$file, lines=>\@lines )

Pass a filename and an array ref and it will append a timestamp and the array contents to the file. Here's a working example:

   $util->logfile_append( file=>$file, prog=>"proggy", lines=>["Starting up", "Shutting down"] )

That will append a line like this to the log file:

creates a directory using the system mkdir binary. Can also make levels of directories (-p) and utilize sudo if necessary to escalate.

=item regexp_test

Prints out a string with the regexp match bracketed. Credit to Damien Conway from Perl Best Practices.

 Example:

 arguments required:
   exp    - the regular expression
   string - the string you are applying the regexp to

 result:
   printed string highlighting the regexp match

=item source_warning

Checks to see if the old build sources are present. If they are, offer to remove them.

 Usage:

   $util->source_warning(
		package => "Provision-Unix-0.96",
		clean   => 1,
		src     => "/usr/local/src"
   );

 arguments required:
   package - the name of the packages directory

 arguments optional:
   src     - the source directory to build in (/usr/local/src)
   clean   - do we try removing the existing sources? (enabled)
   timeout - how long to wait for an answer (60 seconds)

 result:
   1 - removed
   0 - failure, package exists and needs to be removed.

=item sources_get

Tries to download a set of sources files from the site and url provided. It will try first fetching a gzipped tarball and if that files, a bzipped tarball. As new formats are introduced, I will expand the support for them here.

This sub proved quite useful during 2005 as many packages began to be distributed in bzip format instead of the traditional gzip.

=item sudo

   my $sudo = $util->sudo();

   $util->syscmd( "$sudo rm /etc/root-owned-file" );

Often you want to run a script as an unprivileged user. However, the script may need elevated privileges for a plethora of reasons. Rather than running the script suid, or as root, configure sudo allowing the script to run system commands with appropriate permissions.

If sudo is not installed and you're running as root, it'll offer to install sudo for you. This is recommended, as is properly configuring sudo.

 arguments required:

 arguments optional:
   debug

 result:
   0 - failure
   on success, the full path to the sudo binary

=item syscmd

   Just a little wrapper around system calls, that returns any failure codes and prints out the error(s) if present. A bit of sanity testing is also done to make sure the command to execute is safe.

      my $r = $util->syscmd( "gzip /tmp/example.txt" );
      $r ? print "ok!\n" : print "not ok.\n";

    arguments required:
      cmd     - the command to execute

    arguments optional:
      debug
      fatal

    result
      the exit status of the program you called.

=item _try_mkdir

try creating a directory using perl's builtin mkdir.

=item yes_or_no

  my $r = $util->yes_or_no(
      "Would you like fries with that?",
      timeout  => 30
  );

	$r ? print "fries are in the bag\n" : print "no fries!\n";

 arguments required:
   none.

 arguments optional:
   question - the question to ask
   timeout  - how long to wait for an answer (in seconds)

 result:
   0 - negative (or null)
   1 - success (affirmative)
