Fabulous idea. In fact I should have thought of it myself. I am comfortable with this kind of command line/bash-scripting approach, and clearly this helps get my thinking about this on the right track which is exactly what I was asking of the community. Thanks.

This seems to be an active community, clear thinking and thoughtful. I appreciate the help.

Just as a side note on mysqlnavigator for anybody interested:

I would love to get up to speed on writing sql on the fly at the command line. At this moment I have other priorities (so much to learn, so little time). To this end, then mysqlnavigator has so far been a useful tool to quickly review the data model, and the raw data generated by Bacula. I understand the power of the Unix command line, and have no aversion to it-- prefer it actually. But neither am I a religious man in the virtual world. I have no compunction about using a graphical tool if it gets the job done.

The bconsole command 'list jobs' gives me a list of runs from all jobs. I want to narrow it to all job runs from a particular job. The bconsole doc under "list" seems to imply that would be done with:

  list job=My-Job

This doesn't work (I am running mysql under Gentoo Linux). I tried every combination that I could think of-- quotes, tics, etc. to no avail. 'list jobs' works fine but is just painfully cluttered. I even guessed at:

  list jobs job=My-Job


I'm not sure if this will help:
bconsole <<EOF
list jobs
quit
EOF
pipe and grep for My-Job.

It's not as clean as using only bacula commands but IMHO it's a sidestep from using sql directly.
