NAME

XAS::System::Environment - The base environment for the XAS environment

SYNOPSIS

Your program can use this module in the following fashion:

use XAS::System;

$xas = XAS::System->module('environment');

$pidfile = $xas->pidfile;
$logfile = $xas->logfile;

printf("The XAS root is %s\n", $xas->root);

DESCRIPTION

This module describes the base environment for XAS. It will provide a uniform description of the directory layout for perl programs within the XAS environemnt.

METHODS

new

This method will initialize the base module. It parses the environment using the following variables:

XAS_ROOT

The root of the directory structure.

XAS_LOG

The path for log files.

XAS_RUN

The path for pid files.

XAS_SPOOL

The base path for spool files.

XAS_MQSERVER

The server where a STOMP enabled message queue is located.

XAS_MQPORT

The port that server is listening on.

XAS_MXSERVER

The server where a SMTP based mail server resides.

XAS_MXPORT

The port it is listening on.

On Debian Linux these are defined in the etc/environment script, which is created on initial installation.

logfile

This method will return a pre-generated name for a log file. The name will be based on the programs name with a ".log" extension, along with the path to the XAS log file directory. Or you can store your own self generated log file name.

Example

$logfile = $xas->logfile;
$xas->logfile("/some/path/mylogfile.log");

pidfile

This method will return a pre-generated name for a pid file. The name will be based on the programs name with a ".pid" extension, along with the path to the WISE pid file directory. Or you can store your own self generated pid file name.

Example

$pidfile = $xas->pidfile;
$xas->pidfile("/some/path/myfile.pid");

cfgfile

This method will return a pre-generated name for a configuration file. The name will be based on the programs name with a ".ini" extension, along with the path to the WISE configuration file directory. Or you can store your own self generated configuration file name.

Example

$inifile = $xas->cfgfile;
$xas->cfgfile("/some/path/myfile.cfg");

mqserver

This method will return the name of the message queue server. Or you can store a differant name for the server.

Example

$mqserver = $xas->mqserver;
$xas->mqserver('mq.example.com');

mqport

This method will return the port for the message queue server, or you store a differant port number for that server.

Example

$mqport = $xas->mqport;
$xas->mqport('61613');

mxserver

This method will return the name of the mail server. Or you can store a differant name for the server.

Example

$mxserver = $xas->mxserver;
$xas->mxserver('mail.example.com');

mxport

This method will return the port for the mail server, or you store a differant port number for that server.

Example

$mxport = $xas->mxport;
$xas->mxport('25');
