The idea would be that I could write a script that would parse configuration
to be included, detect any invalid dependencies and remove them etc, so that
bacula-dir would load all the valid changes done, but ignore the invalid
ones. Script could then notify me what was wrong and where, so I can fix it
afterwards.
Basing to this it would be a little easier for users change their
configurations (e.g. filesets) by giving them access to only their
configurations sitting in some database.
I figured it's possible to let users change their configuration parameters by
letting them to change these in some database and bacula-dir would then query
them with some script (resource { param = "| some-query-script" }). The
problem in that case is that every resource has to be first included from
bacula-dir.conf, and they can't be removed from configuration dynamically
without changing bacula-dir.conf again.
So it would be perfect if entire sections could be included in the same way.
bacula-dir.conf could then look smth like:
director {
..
}
"| bacula-check.pl /etc/bacula/jobs.conf"
..
bacula-check.pl would then remove invalid jobs etc.
What do you think about it? :)
