Looks like that...

Hmm... I usually have the development manual version open, and the link
to the section you'll want to read is
http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/FileSet_Resource.html#SECTION0015110000000000000000
Look at the third console type.
The name of the consle would be something like whatever-fd, if you
followed the usual naming conventions, and it would need a 'CommandACL =
setip' (or more commands).
A script to call that command from the client would look like 'echo
setip | bconsole -c ...' on unix, and probably something like
bconsole -c ... < C:\path\to\file
where the file would simply contain the command setip. Of course I have
not tested this on windows, and I'm much less fluent in windows command
languange han, for example, in bash :-)
