I think it would be really cool if we could test a new config from within
bconsole.
Something like:
* reload test
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf - v 2.2.5 OK
< client1 - FD version 2.2.5 - OK
< client2 - Unable to connect ERROR
< client3 - FD version 2.0.3 - OK
< storage1 - SD v2.2.5 - OK
@/etc/bacula/otherstorage.conf OK
< includedclient - FD v 2.2.5 OK
< includedstorage - Unable to connect ERROR
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf - v 2.2.5 OK
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf - v 2.2.5 OK
reload test succeded, the configuration will initialize and run!
Clients 4/5 passed tests.
Storage 1/2 passed tests.
There were 2 Errors, and 0 failures.
*reload
OK
*
Of course, this would only support re-reading the configuration files Bacula
was already using. If someone wanted to relocate config files, or test
copies they were editing, then they'd have to drop back to manually testing
them at the command-line.
