(RADIATOR) hook program's variable lifetime

[kaiser]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply....

I think radiator should work this way...

But I used to do a test :

In radius.cfg:
<Handler NAS-Port="1000">
        PreProcessingHook file:"/etc/radiator/cost2.pl"


In hook perl program cost.pl:
                $a=$p->get_attr('Acct-Delay-Time') if
$p->get_attr('Acct-Delay-Time') gt 0;
                $b=$p->get_attr('Acct-Session-Time') if
$p->get_attr('Acct-Session-Time') gt 0;


We find Acc-Delay-time only be sent from our radius client when server
service is connected.

When accounting stop packet arrived, we can get Acct-Session-Time
But we feel strange that in our perl code ( I believe it is not a correct
way), we can keep Acct-Delay-Time's value in $a when stop accounting arrived
.
We can't get Acct-Delay-Time in stop accounting, we only can see
Acct-Delay-Time in pervious accounting packet.

Can you confirm the method we write the code here ?


best regard
