Hello Bacula Users,
I have written a script in bash which I used to
verify my filelist for a fileset. Why? I'm paranoid and wanted some sort
of confirmation that I had no errors in my filelist (I have a dozen of them
and discovered a few tab characters). I use the output of this script to
compare against the result from the estimate command in bconsole. I had
found that errors in my file list were not reported and wanted a convenient
debugging method. I also didn't want to use "estimated listing" because my
list covered thousands of files.
I'm sure the bacula-top-guns out won't be interested in this but I wanted to
mail/post it somewhere in hope that it can help someone else out there.
This was also my first bash script ever, it could be better but I hope it's
not a bad start.
Gary
Here's the code:
#!/bin/bash
# Check File List Version 1
# This Script checks a filelist for use in the bacula director fileset
# directive.
# Usage in director: File = </path/to/file
# Used as a comparison against bconsole estimate and to assist with any
# simple mistakes.
# Can be run by any user.
ARGS=1 # Script requires 1 arguments.
E_BADARGS=65 # Wrong number of arguments passed to script.
if [ $# -ne "$ARGS" ]
# Test number of arguments to script (always a good idea).
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` filelist"
exit $E_BADARGS
fi
if [ $1 -eq "--help" ]
# Test number of arguments to script (always a good idea).
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` filelist"
exit $E_BADARGS
fi
echo "Checking Include Files"
# Set up Variables
filename=$1
totalFiles=0
line_count=$(wc -l < "$filename")
oldIFS="$IFS"
IFS=$'\012'
# This is a bit kludgy due to how bash handles redirection and variables...
for fileIndex in `seq $line_count`
do
read i
# Count and Tabs (These will be ignored by bacula)
tabCount=`echo "$i" | grep -o " " | wc -l`
if (("$tabCount" > 0))
then
echo "Warning: Tab Characters Found in $i"
echo " Line will be ignored"
echo
continue
fi
# Check for Spaces, these shouldn't be escaped.
spaceCount=`echo "$i" | grep -o " " | wc -l`
if (("$spaceCount" > 0))
then

echo " Space Characters shouldn't be escaped (Prefixed by
\'\\\')"
echo

then

echo " Line will be ignored"
echo
continue
fi
# Count the files in that folder
fileCount=`find "$i" | wc -l`
# Add count to global count
let "totalFiles += $fileCount"
done < "$filename"
echo
echo Number of files covered by bacula file list are: $totalFiles
echo
exit 0
# End Script
