NAME
Ubic::AccessGuard - class which guards simple service operations
VERSION
version 1.13
SYNOPSIS
use Ubic::AccessGuard;
$guard = Ubic::AccessGuard->new($service); # take lock under $service->user
undef $guard; # free lock
DESCRIPTION
Ubic::AccessGuard sets effective uid to specified service's user id if neccesary, and restore it back on destruction.
It's usage is limited, because when effective uid is not equal to real uid, perl automatically turns on tainted mode. Because of this, only tainted-safe code should be called when AccessGuard is active. Ubic doesn't start services under this guard, but uses it when acquiring locks and writing service status files.
METHODS
new($service)
-
Construct new access guard object.
User will be changed into user apporpriate for running
