Hobbit_perl_client v1.14

[Francesco Duranti]

Hi all, new version is out... Most of the changes is on the fork
functions so please upgrade to this version because it solve some
problems with the forking of process.

For netapp users the cpu report is now using the average cpu used
instead of the total and the script will report as data to hobbit all
the stats performance data. The included patch to the hobbit server will
allow the user to save all those data to rrd file. Definition of those
graphs are on the way, I'm currently working on them and on a better
documentation.

For people using Perl 5.8.0 (for example red hat 3 users) they have to
upgrade the Sys::SigAction module to version 0.07 because the 0.06
version have a bug that will make the script exit without reporting
anything.


This is the complete changelog:

Hobbit_fd_lib.pm v1.14 
- Added function for uptime checking
- Added an option to change the dbcheck/netapp/beastat reporting column 
  under the hobbit server to report warning or error o nly if there are
more
  than a defined number of errors
- Completely changed the way on how child fork and how they'll pass data
  to the parent process
- The program will now exit if the perl version is 5.8.0 and
Sys::SigAlert version
  is less then 0.07 because the module will not work in that
configuration
- Corrected a bug in a time calculation function not working with some
dates and
  creating a lot of warning

Beastat.pl v1.06
- Added an option to have the uptime in a different column (see the
beastat.ini file 
  for options)
- Corrected a bug with the uptime reporting

DbCheck.pl v1.07
- Added an option to have the uptime in a different column (see the
dbcheck.ini 
file for options)
- Corrected a bug to get the default value for tblspace check
- Corrected a bug in the check for errors in the valtocheck parameter

Netapp.pl v1.10
- Added an option to have the uptime in a different column (see the
netapp.ini

- Added an option to check and report for timedifference between the
hobbit 
  server and filers
- Added the report of extended performance data gathered via stats
command (those data 
  will be collected into rrd file after patching the hobbit source and
will report 
  about many statistical counters. To know what can be graphed check the
stats
  command and in particular stats list counters with object: aggregate,
volume, disk,
  qtree, iscsi, fcp, cifs, lun, nfsv3, ifnet, processor, system
- Corrected cpu statistics gathering via sysstat -m on multiprocessor
platform
  using the average cpu time instead of the total (better reporting of
cpu performance).
- Full report on cpu information with total, average and single
processor use on 
  the cpu column
- Some bug fixed to various functions
