undef = $srv->initialize();

##========================================================================
## Methods: Generic Server API

$rc = $srv->prepare();
$rc = $srv->run();
$rc = $srv->finish();

##-- low-level methods
$rc = $srv->prepareSignalHandlers();
$rc = $srv->prepareLocal(@args_to_prepare);

DESCRIPTION

Globals

Variable: @ISA

DTA::CAB::Server inherits from DTA::CAB::Persistent and DTA::CAB::Logger.

Constructors etc.

new
$srv = CLASS_OR_OBJ->new(%args);

%args, %$srv:

##-- supported analyzers
as => \%analyzers,     ##-- ($name => $cab_analyzer_obj, ...)
aos => \%anlOptions,   ##-- ($name=>\%analyzeOptions, ...) : passed to $as{$name}->analyzeXYZ($xyz,%analyzeOptions)
##
##-- daemon mode support
pidfile => $pidfile,   ##-- write PID to file on prepare()
pid     => $pid,       ##-- PID to write to $pidfile (default=$$)
initialize
undef = $srv->initialize();

Called to initialize new objects after new()

Methods: Generic Server API

prepare
$rc = $srv->prepare();

Prepare server $srv to run. Default implementation initializes logger, writes $pidfile (if defined), and pre-loads each analyzer in values(%{$srv->{as}}) by calling that analyzers prepare() method.

prepareSignalHandlers
$rc = $srv->prepareSignalHandlers();

Initialize signal handlers. Default implementation handles SIGHUP, SIGTERM, SIGKILL, and __DIE__.

prepareLocal
$rc = $srv->prepareLocal(@args_to_prepare);

Dummy method for subclass-local initialization, called by "prepare"() after default "prepare"() guts have run.

run
$rc = $srv->run();

Run the server. No default implementation.

finish
$rc = $srv->finish();

Cleanup method; should be called when server dies or after "run"() has completed. Default implementation unlinks $pidfile (if defined).
