[Tutor] Config file parsing

[Tino Dai]

Hi Everybody,

     Before I start reinventing the wheel, is there any code out there for
parsing configuration filesn in paragraph format. I am creating a
multi-process monitor that will read in a configuration file that will
contain the processes that they will monitor also what to do when they get
get an alert. Below is an example of what I envision the configure file to
look like

apache {
   process=/usr/bin/httpd
   processNum = 8
   whenDown = "Apache is totally down"
   whenDegraded = "Apache has degraded (one or more processes has gone away"
   whenUp = "Apache is up"
   severityDown=1
   severityDegraded=3
   severityUp=5
   .... etc ....
}

Thanks in advance,
Tino
