BE CAREFUL with this. If you make a mistake, the director will bomb out (the same way it would if you attempted to start it with a bad directive). I believe there was some discussion about fixing this (and in fact, my current director 2.0.2 says something about bad directives and reusing the old ones, but IIRC it segfaults after that -- guess I should have reported that but never thought about it). >> Do I need to pause the existing job before I restart bacula-dir, I don't see >> a command that will do this. >> >> If I just restart bacula-dir, will the job resume normal operation once it >> restarts? > > No, I'm pretty sure the job will end with an error message. Indeed -- the jobs will error and die on restart. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF3zlkmb+gadEcsb4RAh/8AKDfScboBDc91HVEZgljQnfqNqpB8wCg07aw nACBUrbmhM9QYMQbB09iyy8= =CXH7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
