Hello, This sounds like a nice feature.
In the mean time, you could probably script this by having two different bconsole.conf files, one for each director, then call a script that takes the Director name and then executes bconsole with the correct conf file. File bcon: ======== #!/bin/sh <bin-path>/bconsole -c <conf-path>$1.conf ====== dir1.conf defines the first director dir2.conf defines the second ./bcon dir1 and ./bcon dir2 On Wednesday 14 July 2010 16:20:18 Olaf Zevenboom wrote: > Item x (new): add the ability to pass a director-name to bconsole on start > of bconsole Date: 14 july 2010 > Origin: Olaf Zevenboom (olaf at artefact dot nl) > Status: > > Background: > Recently I found myself adding a second Director to the network while in > process of moving Bacula to a new server.
