Chapter 7: Graphical Examples with Perl/Tk- P4 Check if Servers Are up: webping For the last example, we'll build a GUI interface that will allow us to check and see if several web sites are running, at pre-specified intervals. Since this action is very similar to the UNIX ping command, we call it webping. This application would be useful to a web administrator who had to keep track of many different web sites, and wanted to know when one was down or not responding. We'll be utilizing the LWP::Simple module to actually ping each site. The code to check a site's status is as follows, where $site is a string containing a standard URL (like http://www.ora.com): $content = head($site); if ($content) { ## Site is UP. } else { ## Site is DOWN. } While that's pretty simple, we have to have some way to set $site to a URL. It's not very efficient to have to type a new site on the command line each time we want to verify the status of a site. In order to make our GUI useful, we want to add some basic features to it. A place to manually enter URLs would be nice, and a display of the sites we have checked and their status would be useful. Having the program automatically perform an update on each of the sites in the list every 30 minutes or so would be extremely useful. In that same vein, specifying the interval would also be easier than editing the source code any time we decide to change how often the ping happens. After we build a list of sites, it would be nice for the program to remember them, and bring them up automatically the next time we start the program. Here's the final code, with most of the mentioned features represented: #!/usr/bin/perl -w ################################################### #################### ## Webping: A program that will detect and report whether a web site is up. ## usage: webping [ -a ] [ -i <minutes>] [ -f <filename> ] [-- [ -geometry .]] ## -a : starts prog in "autoping" mode from beginning. ## -i : Sets the autoping interval to <int> ## -f : Uses <filename> instead of .webping_sites as site list ## -- is necessary to separate webping's options from the Window ## Manager options. Allows us to utilize GetOptions instead of ## parsing them manually (ick). ## The standard wm specs are allowed after the -- , -geometry and ## -iconic being the most useful of them. ################################################### #################### use Tk; use LWP::Simple; use Getopt::Long; The first section of the code says to use Tk, LWP::Simple, and Getopt::Long. We chose to utilize Getopt::Long so that we wouldn't have to parse any command-line options ourselves. As you can see from our usage statement, we've got quite a few to deal with. Automode is the term we use when the program loops and checks each web site every n minutes. ## DEFAULT values -- may be changed by specifing cmd line options. my $site_file = "$ENV{HOME}/.webping_sites"; $ping_interval = 5; $auto_mode = 0; @intervals = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35); sub numerically { $a <=> $b; } sub antinumerically { $b <=> $a; } ## Parse our specific command line options first &GetOptions("i=i" => \$ping_interval, "f=s" => \$site_file, "a" => \$auto_mode); if (! grep /$ping_interval/, @intervals) { push (@intervals, $ping_interval); } These segments set up stuff the program should know about. There are default values for everything they might set on the command line. We've declared two sorting routines to be used later on. We get the options specified by the user (if any) to put the program in automode, add or set the interval, and determine which file to read our list of web sites from, if not the default file. Next comes the meat of the GUI: setting up the window, widgets, and callbacks. webping does more complicated things than xword, so it will take quite a bit more effort to set it all up. No matter what it does, though, it all looks pretty much the same: creating buttons, assigning functions for them to call, and placing the widgets in a sensible order via pack. We won't go into too much detail about how this all happens, but here is the code: my $mw = MainWindow->new; $mw->title("Web Ping"); $mw->CmdLine; ## parse -geometry and etc cmd line options. $frame1 = $mw->Frame; $frame1->pack(side => "bottom", -anchor => "n", -expand => "n", -fill => "x"); ## Create frame for buttons along the bottom of the window my $button_f = $frame1->Frame(-borderwidth => 2, -relief => "ridge"); $button_f->pack(-side => "top", -anchor => "n", -expand => "n", -fill => "x"); $update_bttn = $button_f->Button(-text => "Update", -state => 'disabled', -command => sub { &end_automode; &ping_site }); Notice that when we hit the Update button, we end the current automode (if we can). This is so that the program doesn't try to do two things at once. $update_bttn->pack(-side => "left", -anchor => "w", -padx => 5); $del_bttn = $button_f->Button(-text => "Delete", -state => 'disabled', -command => sub { &delete_site }); $del_bttn->pack(-side => "left", -anchor => 'w', -padx => 10); $automode_bttn = $button_f->Button(-text => "Start Automode", -command => \&do_automode); $automode_bttn->pack(-side => 'left'); $button_f->Label(-text => "Interval: ")->pack(-side => "left"); ## Create a psuedo pop-up menu using Menubutton $interval_mb = $button_f->Menubutton(-indicatoron => 1, -borderwidth => 2, -relief => "raised"); $interval_mb->pack(-side => "left"); $interval_mb->configure(-menu => $interval_mb- >Menu(-tearoff => 0), -textvariable => \$ping_interval); map { $interval_mb->radiobutton(-label => $_, -variable => \$ping_interval, -value => $_, -indicatoron => 0) } sort numerically @intervals; Using a menu button like this is often a good way to get a list of items into a very small space: $button_f->Button(-text => "Exit", -command => \&exit_program)->pack(- side => "right", -anchor => "e"); my $entry_f = $mw->Frame; $entry_f->pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'n', - fill => 'x'); $entry_f->Label(-text => "URL: ")->pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'w'); my $entry = $entry_f->Entry(-textvariable => \$url); $entry->pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'w', - expand => 'y', -fill => 'x'); $entry_f->Button(-text => "Ping", -command => \&add_site)->pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'e'); $entry->bind('<Return>', \&add_site); my $list_f = $mw->Frame; $list_f->pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'n', -expand => 'yes', -fill => 'both'); $history_label = $list_f->Button(-text => "History:", -borderwidth => 2, -relief => "flat"); $history_label->pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'n', -fill => 'x'); my $scroll = $list_f->Scrollbar; [...]... ($state =~ /^End/) { $automode_bttn->configure(-text => "Start Automode"); $mw->after('cancel', $id); } } And finally, webping looks like Figure 7-4 Figure 7-4 webping client 1 I say "we," but I really mean "she" this chapter was written by Nancy Walsh, who combined her knowledge of Tk with my knowledge of LWP 2 Frames are just invisible containers for other widgets They group things together so the window... is also called when in automode It checks the sites selected in the listbox ping_site( ) is where you could put in other things to happen when a site is down For instance, mail the web administrator, page the administrator with a text message, or whatever you'd like! sub add_site { return if ($url eq ""); ## Do nothing, empty string ## Validate $url contains correct information (ie a server name) $url... 'disabled'); $del_bttn->configure(-state => 'disabled'); } The function delete_site( ) will delete any selected items in the listbox This allows us to remove ou-of-date sites from our list without having to edit the webping_sites file manually sub do_automode { ## State if the $automode_bttn will tell us which way we are in my $state = $automode_bttn->cget(-text); if ($state =~ /^Start/) { $automode_bttn->configure(-text... we ran it except that the program will have updated the list of sites with the current status $entry->focus; &do_automode if ($auto_mode); MainLoop; Off it goes! Now all that's left in our source code are the functions that we've bound to the buttons and various actions in the GUI Remember, this is where the real work comes in; without these functions the GUI would just be a bunch of flashy buttons .
