Currently it works only with the UNIX version, but it should work with cygwin. It is loosely based upon BigBrother.pm by Joe Bryant, his module is available at http://www.deadcat.net/1/BigBrother.pm. During installation, configure.pl should be run. This will create the file Config.pm from the bbdef.sh, bbinc.sh, and bbsys.sh files. The configure script can and should be run again should you update any of these settings.The module provides easy access to the BB configuration values and the bb-hosts file values. It also provides methods for sending status reports and pages through the bb binary itself as well as debug output to the standard BBOUT filehandle. BigBrother (http://www.bb4.com/) is owned by BB4 Technologies, a part of Quest Software. While this software is meant to compliment the tool, it was not developed in cooperation with BB4 Technologies, and BB4 Technologies has no responsibility for it workings. For reference, the module was developed against the UNIX Server version 1.9c. =head1 METHODS =item new() Create a BigBrother object. This method reads in the Config.pm and returns the object. If the Config load fails, it returns the Error Message instead of the object. =over 8 B none. B BigBrother Object. =back =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = bless({},$class); my $init_success = $self->_init(); if ($init_success) { # if successful, return a blessed object return $self; } else { # if not successful, return the error message return $self->{'error_message'}; } } =item get_bbenv() Gets a hash of the BigBrother config variables. =over 8 B key for the variable wanted or none. B If a key is passed the result is the value paired with that key, else a hash reference containing the BigBrother definitions. =back =cut sub get_bbenv { my $self = shift(); my $key = shift(); if ($key) { return $self->{'ENV'}->{$key}; } else { return $self->{'ENV'}; } } =item get_file() Gets a text file contents. =over 8 B System name of the filename.

The method checks the DFPAGE variable to ensure pages are used. =over 8 B Status to send to pager.

B A reference to the list of services for bb-hosts server or undef if server does not exist. =back =cut sub get_bbhost_svcs { my $self = shift(); my $hostname = shift(); my $hosts = $self->{'BBHOSTS'}; return $hosts->{$hostname}->{'SVCS'}; } =item get_bbhost_name() Retrieves the hostname for a given host IP within the BBHOSTS file. =over 8 B IP Address of bb-hosts server.
