Thanks all for your responses! Dave, I'm writing a python script that parses a text file containing information about the bacula install (working directory, install directory, director name, etc.) and another containing information about all the clients that I need to back up. It then creates a file with all the client and job definitions that get included in the bacula-dir.conf file. It also spits out a bacula-fd.conf for each client as well as creates and signs the certificates required for TLS.
At the moment it's a very inflexible script -- I assume my own convention for the locations of the files and such. When I get it working, I'll see about parsing some command line arguments to tell it where to look for files and where to put things, and possibly make it a well behaved unix program (take input from stdin/send input to stdout if nothing is specified, etc) but so far it reads from and writes to specific files. If you'd like I'll send you (or the list, if others are interested) an e-mail when it's done. Should be this week or the next. ~Kyle Marsh On 6/12/07, Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > Yes it is possible.
