Design decisions
announce_services
Queries for RPM packages. The initial idea was a construct like {{{ map { chomp; $installed{$_} = 1 } $rpm -qa;
}}} which would have allowed a fast and elegant check like use_service($service_name) if $installed{$package};. This would, however, require exact package names including version numbers in announce_nagios (like firefox-1.0.8-1.4.1.SL3.1.i386). BRSo i chose a different mode of retrieval of the packages installed: {{{ my $installed = 'XxX'.$rpm -qa; $installed =~ s/\n/XxX/g; }}} to allow a more flexible, yet slower query like use_service($service_name) if $installed =~ /XxX$package/;
