Hi Erik. Yes this is possible.
What I usually do is write a short script that simply pipes a command (or
several commands) to bconsole, then I schedule Bacula to run that script as a
"runBefore" script in an "Admin" type job.
Here's an example that I use to update the slots on a client's site where I can
not be 100% sure what tapes they will insert or remove from the autoloader.
This job runs nightly just shortly before the normal backup jobs run:
# ----------------
# Update Slots Job
# ----------------
Job {
Name = UpdateSlots
Client = bacula-fd
Type = Admin
FileSet = Default
Schedule = UpdateSlots
Messages = Standard
Storage = LTO
Pool = Default
Priority = 5
RunScript {
RunsWhen = Before
RunsOnClient = no
Fail Job On Error = no
Command = "/usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh"
}
}
# -----------
# UpdateSlots
# -----------
Schedule {
Name = UpdateSlots
Run = mon-sun at 22:50
}
File: /usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh
--[snip]--
#!/bin/bash
BC="/usr/sbin/bconsole"
CONF="/etc/bacula/bconsole.conf"
STORAGE="DLT-V4"
$BC -c $CONF << EOF
update slots storage=$STORAGE
quit
EOF

Hope this helps
