 # Notes

 Use the parameter -D debugcode=x with care! And do NOT use code that writes to STDOUT - all output must go to another file handle, e.g STDERR or /dev/tty!

#### send_monitor_login_mail.sh - create report of ssh logins and send it via email
####
#### Author: Bernd Schemmer (Bernd.Schemmer@gmx.de)
####
#### Version: see variable ${__SCRIPT_VERSION} below
####          (see variable ${__SCRIPT_TEMPLATE_VERSION} for the template version used)
####
#### Supported OS: Solaris and others
####
####
#### Description
#### -----------
####
#### This script scans the log files of the log server of specified machines for ssh login messages
##C#
##C# Configuration file
##C# ------------------
##C#
##C# This script supports a configuration file called <scriptname>.conf.
##C# The configuration file is searched in the working directory,
##C# the home directory of the user executing this script and in /etc
##C# (in this order).
##C#
##C# The configuration file is read before the parameter are processed.
##C#
##C# To override the default config file search set the variable
##C# CONFIG_FILE to the name of the config file to use.
##C#
##C# e.g. CONFIG_FILE=/var/myconfigfile ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh
##C#
##C# To disable the use of a config file use
##C#
##C#     CONFIG_FILE=none ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh
##C#
##C# See the variable __CONFIG_PARAMETER below for the possible entries
##C# in the config file.
##C#
####
#### Predefined parameter
#### --------------------
####
#### see the subroutines ShowShortUsage and ShowUsage
####
#### Note: The current version of the script template can be found here:
####
####       http://bnsmb.de/solaris/scriptt.html
####
####
##T# Troubleshooting support
##T# -----------------------
##T#
##T# Use
##T#
##T#   __CREATE_DUMP=<anyvalue|directory> <yourscript>
##T#
##T# to create a dump of the environment variables on program exit.
##T#
##T# e.g
##T#
##T#  __CREATE_DUMP=1 ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh
##T#
##T# will create a dump of the environment variables in the files
##T#
##T#   /tmp/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.envvars.$$
##T#   /tmp/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.exported_envvars.$$
##T#
##T# before the script ends
##T#
##T#  __CREATE_DUMP=/var/tmp/debug ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh
##T#
##T# will create a dump of the environment variables in the files
##T#
##T#   /var/tmp/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.envvars.$$
##T#   /var/tmp/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.exported_envvars.$$
##T#
##T# before the script ends (the target directory must already exist).
##T#
##T# Note that the dump files will always be created in case of a syntax
##T# error. To set the directory for these files use either
##T#
##T#   export __DUMPDIR=/var/tmp/debug
##T#   ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh
##T#
##T# or define __DUMPDIR in the script.
##T#
##T# To suppress creating the dump file in case of a syntax error add
##T# the statement
##T#
##T# __DUMP_ALREADY_CREATED=0
##T#
##T# to your script
##T#
##T# Use
##T#
##T#    CreateDump <uniqdirectory> [filename_add]
##T#
##T# to manually create the dump files from within the script.
##T#
##T# e.g.
##T#
##T#   CreateDump /var/debug
##T#
##T# will create the files
##T#
##T#   /var/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.envvars.$$
##T#   /var/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.exported_envvars.$$
##T#
##T#   CreateDump /var/debug pass2.
##T#
##T# will create the files
##T#
##T#   /var/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.envvars.pass2.$$
##T#   /var/debug/send_monitor_login_mail.sh.exported_envvars.pass2.$$
##T#
####  Note:
####    The default action for the signal handler USR1 is
####    "Create an environment dump in /var/tmp"
####    The filenames for the dumps are
####
####      /var/tmp/<scriptname>.envvars.dump_no_<no>_<PID>
####      /var/tmp/<scriptname>.exported_envvars.dump_no_<no>_<PID>
####
####    where <no> is a sequential number, <PID> is the PID of the
####    process with the script, and <scriptname> is the name of the
####    script without the path.
####
#### In addition there are some debug parameters that can be used to
#### search and fix errors in the script -- see the output of
####
####    script.sh -D help
####
#### for the list of known debug switches.
####
#### -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Note: Use
####
####    ./send_monitor_login_mail.sh -D SyntaxHelp 2>./send_monitor_login_mail.sh.syntaxhelp
####
####    to get some syntax examples for the functions defined in the template.
####
#### -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
####
#### User defined signal handler
#### ---------------------------
####
#### You can define various SIGNAL handlers to process signals received
#### by the script.
####
#### All SIGNAL handlers can use these variables:
####
#### __TRAP_SIGNAL -- the catched trap signal
#### INTERRUPTED_FUNCTION -- the function interrupted by the signal
####
####
#### To define one signal handler for all signals do:
####
####   __GENERAL_SIGNAL_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####
#### To define unique signal handler for the various signals do:
####
####   __SIGNAL_SIGUSR1_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####   __SIGNAL_SIGUSR2_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####   __SIGNAL_SIGHUP_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####   __SIGNAL_SIGINT_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####   __SIGNAL_SIGQUIT_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####   __SIGNAL_SIGTERM_FUNCTION=<signalhandler_name>
####
#### If both type of signal handler are defined the script first
#### executes the general signal handler.
#### If this handler returns 0 the handler for the catched signal will
#### also be executed (else not).
#### If the unique handler for the signal ends with 0 the default signal
#### handler for this signal will also be executed (else not)

##V#     minor changes for zone support
##V#

##V#       contains the name of a function that is called for all SIGNALs
##V#       before the special SIGNAL handler is called
##V#     removed the Debug Handler for single step execution (due to the

##V#     whence function for non-ksh compatible shells rewritten
##V#       without using ksh
##V#     the switch -D is now used to toggle debug switches

##V#       script if a value greater than 255 should be returned
##V#     added the variables __SHEBANG, __SCRIPT_SHELL, and __SCRIPT_SHELL_OPTIONS
##V#     added the function DebugShell

# General hints
#

Use

  send_monitor_login_mail.sh -H 2>./send_monitor_login_mail.doc

to create the documentation for send_monitor_login_mail.sh including the infos for all public
variables and functions that can be used.

Use the function "YourRoutine" as template for new functions.

Use the function "USER_SIGNAL_HANDLER" as template for new signal handler.

Use the format

  function [function_name] { ... }

to define new functions to be compatible with ksh88 and ksh93.

Be aware that the return code for a function is an integer value between 0 and 255

Define all local variables in functions using

  typeset [varname][=value]

Do NOT define new variables beginning with two underscore "__"!

To source in another script you should only use the function

  includeScript

instead of ". <includefile>"
