i do not agree with that ;) >>> This is described in the manual, for example >>> http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Python_Scripting.html#SECTION003560000000000000000 >> ... i'm now trying to understand at least something in all this... 1. the example has a section that is not simply stating noop, but is preceded by it : def JobInit(self, job): noop = 1 if (job.JobId < 2): startid = job.run("run kernsave") job.JobReport = "Python started new Job: jobid=%d\n" % startid print "name=%s version=%s conf=%s working=%s" % (bacula.Name, bacula.Version, bacula.ConfigFile, bacula.WorkingDir) manual says "If you do not want a particular event, simply replace the existing code with a noop = 1." what does this section do then ? is preceding it with noop = 1 also disabling it ? 2. the volume label itself. i guess i should leave at least parts of "def JobStart", right ? it creates JobEvents class, which in turn includes what seems to be the correct section - "def NewVolume". i suppose this line should be modified : Vol = "TestA-%d" % numvol later two other lines have same string : job.JobReport = "Exists=%d TestA-%d" % (job.DoesVolumeExist(Vol), numvol) job.VolumeName="TestA-%d" % numvol must i replace all of these strings ? if yes, can't they just be referenced from the first string, "Vol" ? now, as for constructing the volume labal string... it seems that most variables map to something "job." - like job.Pool, job.Job, job.Level etc. how would i use these variables to define the label ? i am trying to imitate a volume label like "${Pool}_${Job}-${Level}-${Year}.${Month:p/2/0/r}.${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}.${Minute:p/2/0/r}" which would also require variables like year, month etc. how can i include those ? i'm really lost with all this, but this probably is the best time to do this as i have set up a test system before attempting a large upgrade, so postponing the change can come back to me later... ... > Arno -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
