Yes reload also scans through the included config files from bacula-dir.conf I use them heavily in my environment.
What a reload does not do is load any modifications of bacula-sd.conf or bacula-fd.conf you need to restart those daemons outside of bconsole. (bacula-sd/bacula-fd) I'm using 5.2.12 and it seems to be working fine, what are you changing that does not seem to reload? If its volume parameter changes or something that requires you to issue an update via bconsole that might be why your includes are not being reloaded. As for sending a signal to the daemon to issue a reload - not sure what is supported without checking the source code - but these signals may be specific to the OS kernel aka *BSD or other variants support different SIG's ---------------------------------------------------------- bconsole question Hi folks, does a "reload" issued to beconsole also reload included config files? Apparently in our setup (5.2.9 or .12), this does not seem to be the case. Is there a signal I can send to the director process to make it rescan an included config dir? We're using the statement < at > |"sh -c 'for f in /server/bacula/etc/configs/*.conf ; do echo < at > ${f} ; done'" from the example found in the manual.
