Re: [MyNMS-users] resolving some portability issues.

Yup, I was thinking that.

ATM the way the config file works you could say something in My_Config.cf
like:

OS    #    uncomment yours
    NAME = Linux
   # NAME = Solaris
   # NAME = FreeBSD
    ... etc ...

and include the actual code in the config file:

PING
    Solaris    {my $ip=shift; `/usr/sbin/ping $ip 1`=~/alive/;}
    Linux    {my $ip=shift; `/bin/ping -c $ip`=~/(\d) packets received/ or
die; return $1}

(NB that should be tabs not spaces after Solaris and Linux above)

and in the code say
sub ping
{ 
    my $IPadd = shift;
    return &{$CONFIG{PING}{ $CONFIG{OS}{NAME} }}($IPadd) ;
}

I haven't tried that and it's late, so that may be horribly wrong ;-)
