ok, this didn't help. even after a clean compile bacula dos not attempt
to use scripts.
i even tried with strace -e file, not even a single attempt to load any
python script.
turns out, i must explicitly add "Scripts Directory" parameter... from
manual, i understood that bacula would be looking in /etc/bacula/scripts
by default - it says "normal default /etc/bacula/scripts".
so, some suggestions/problems i noticed :)
1. "(normal default /etc/bacula/scripts," - unclosed parenthesis in the
manual.
also, this paragraph probably should note that the directive has to be
added and no actual default is enabled.
2. if "Scripts Directory" is specified in director configuration file,
director can't be stopped with ctrl+c, when run in foreground;
3. if bacula is compiled with python support, maybe it is worth adding
this parameter to the default director configuration file ?
------------------------------------------
now, for the actual scripts...
1. the example is using both lines with spacing and without spacing
around equal sign (a=b and a = b). which would be a better style choice ?
2. it seems that i got it partially working by using the following lines :
Vol = "%s_%s-%s-%d" % (job.Pool, job.Job, job.Level, numvol)
job.JobReport = "Exists=%d %s" % (job.DoesVolumeExist(Vol), Vol)
job.VolumeName=Vol
are there any huge mistakes ?
3. can i somehow avoid this %d, %s thing and specifying variables after
that ? like, writing someting like {job.Pool)_{job.Job}-{job.Level} etc.
4. does somebody have example on writing out datetime string that would
reproduce behaviour that label format currently produces for
"${Year}.${Month:p/2/0/r}.${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}.${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
?
5. a (slightly modified) line reads :
job.JobReport = "Exists=%d %s" % (job.DoesVolumeExist(Vol), Vol)
if i understand correctly, it would only add a line to the report and
proceed, right ?
it seems that in such a case job simply stucks, waiting for a manual
volume specification.
can i make a check that would error out if such a volume already exists ?
