### Configuration
#####################################################################

# Environment variables
[ -z "${LOG_LEVEL}" ] && LOG_LEVEL="6" # 7 = debug -> 0 = emergency

# Commandline options. This defines the usage page, and is used to parse cli opts & defaults from.
# the parsing is unforgiving so be precise in your syntax:
read -r -d '' usage <<-'EOF'
  -f   [arg] Filename to process.
  -t   [arg] Location of tempfile. Default="/tmp/x"
  -d         Enables debug mode
  -h         This page
EOF

# Set magic variables for current FILE & DIR
__FILE__="$(test -L "$0" && readlink "$0" || echo "$0")"

### Validation
#####################################################################

### Runtime
#####################################################################

# Exit on error. Append ||true if you expect an error.
# set -e is safer than #!/bin/bash -e because that is nutralised if
# someone runs your script like `bash yourscript.sh`
set -e

# Bash will remember & return the highest exitcode in a chain of pipes.
# This way you can catch the error in case mysqldump fails in `mysqldump |gzip`
set -o pipefail

debug "Info useful to developers for debugging the application, not useful during operations."
info "Normal operational messages - may be harvested for reporting, measuring throughput, etc. - no action required."
notice "Events that are unusual but not error conditions - might be summarized in an email to developers or admins to spot potential problems - no immediate action required."
warning "Warning messages, not an error, but indication that an error will occur if action is not taken, e.g. file system 85% full - each item must be resolved within a given time. This is a debug message"
error "Non-urgent failures, these should be relayed to developers or admins; each item must be resolved within a given time."
critical "Should be corrected immediately, but indicates failure in a primary system, an example is a loss of a backup ISP connection."
alert "Should be corrected immediately, therefore notify staff who can fix the problem. An example would be the loss of a primary ISP connection."
emergency "A \"panic\" condition usually affecting multiple apps/servers/sites. At this level it would usually notify all tech staff on call."
