hiho@ll

i try to change the source of cronolog project (cronolog.org)
because i need it for my project

what i want to do:
nearly finished i tried to attach some arguments that cronolog can execute scripts before or after it has logged something depending on a time value or file quota

my problem:
first to say: i compile the code using the same make script which is used by cronolog project

i'm not really expirienced with getopt!
what i did:
---------------
char *short_options = "ad:eop:s:z:H:P:S:l:hVx:T:R:t:";

#ifndef _WIN32
struct option long_options[] =
{
{ "american", no_argument, NULL, 'a' },
{ "european", no_argument, NULL, 'e' },
{ "start-time", required_argument, NULL, 's' },
{ "time-zone", required_argument, NULL, 'z' },
{ "hardlink", required_argument, NULL, 'H' },
{ "symlink", required_argument, NULL, 'S' },
{ "prev-symlink", required_argument, NULL, 'P' },
{ "link", required_argument, NULL, 'l' },
{ "period", required_argument, NULL, 'p' },
{ "delay", required_argument, NULL, 'd' },
{ "once-only", no_argument, NULL, 'o' },
{ "help", no_argument, NULL, 'h' },
{ "version", no_argument, NULL, 'V' },
{ "postexec", required_argument, NULL, 'T' },
{ "preexec", required_argument, NULL, 'R' },
{ "timetoexecute", required_argument, NULL, 't' }
};
#endif

#ifndef _WIN32
while ((ch = getopt_long(argc, argv, short_options, long_options, NULL)) != EOF)
#else
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, short_options)) != EOF)
#endif
{


------------------
this is the code i made
i added postexec,preexec and timetoexecute long_options and last three short options

i tried a little debugging with printf (because i haven't a debugger installed)
and it seems that if i do:

printf("%s\n",short_options);
tmp=long_options;
while(tmp!=NULL && tmp->name!=NULL){
printf("%s %d %p %d\n",tmp->name,tmp->has_arg,tmp->flag,tmp->val);
tmp++;
}


makes a segfault
the same happens in the example above without my debug printf
so, what's wrong?
i don't know what could be wrong because, the original code is nearly the same except the new arguments!

thx@ll

it just bugged somewhere else
