Hey there, I had a look at the shell scripting for the bconsole and on a linux/unix machine there is no trouble with passing args to the console by the script
example: ./bconsole -c ./bconsole.conf <<END_OF_DATA @output /dev/null messages @output /tmp/log1.out @# @# Tape $1 will be set to use now @# update volume=$1 volstatus=used @# @# Tape $1 Retention Time will be set to 60s @# update volume=$1 VolRetention=60 @# @# Tape $1 Recycle Flag will be set to yes @# update volume=$1 Recycle=yes @# @# Tape $1 will now be purged ! @# update volume=$1 volstatus=purge messages @output quit END_OF_DATA this works just fine for me on linux! but I do have windows clients too and to and here this kind of approach fails epically for me. I search the web but didnt really found something, the only option was to put the bacula comand in a file and load them from there but then I need to pass the args in this file and I dont really want to reinvent the wheel for a task like that. So if someone could confirm that this stuff is only working with a shell not with a windows cmd or may have a hint what I did wrong (no need to mention that vars are declared diffrent in a batch file).
