NAME

Ubic::Cmd - ubic methods with pretty printing.

VERSION

version 1.07

SYNOPSIS

    use Ubic::Cmd;
    Ubic::Cmd->start("aaa.bbb");

SYNOPSIS

When using ubic from simple scripts, you want to print some output about what happened when starting/stopping service.

This package mostly conforms to Ubic module API (i.e. to LSB init-script API).

It also greatly simplifies writing /etc/init.d/ scripts (see synopsis).

CONSTRUCTOR

new($params)

All methods of this class can be invoked as class methods, but you can construct your own instance if neccesary (although constructor doesn't have any options by now, so it is useless).

LSB METHODS

All following methods do the same things as methods in Ubic, but they also print messages about their actions.

start($service)
stop($service)
restart($service)
try_restart($service)
reload($service)
force_reload($name)

OTHER METHODS

do_custom_command($service, $command)

Do non-LSB command.

usage($command)

Print command's usage.

WARNING: exits on invocation!

traverse($name, $callback)

Process each subservice of $name with $callback, printing correct indentations.

Print status of given service identified by name or by object. If $cached_flag is true, prints status cached in watchdog file.

run($params_hashref)

Run given command for given service and exit with LSB-compatible exit code.

Parameters:

name

Service's name or arrayref with names.

command

Command to execute.

force

Force command on protected multiservice.

BUGS AND CAVEATS

Interface of this class is unstable and can be changed without further notice.

When in doubt, consider Ubic or system("ubic COMMAND SERVICE") instead.
