Thing,
Thanks very much! This is exactly what I need! BTW, I am running Bacula
7 on CentOS 7.

You can run a config check on the conf file, please do so.

systemctl status bacula-director should tell you its status.
Otherwise if you get no return from,
systemctl start bacula.director
that should mean its started OK.
From memory the bacula on Centos 7.4 is version 5 you should be able
to run version 7 instead.

Hello,
I'm changing some configurations in my bacula-dir.conf on a CentOS
7 server. Unfortunately it uses the new-fangled systemd to stop
and start the director. I don't get any reports as to whether it
starts or not after "systemctl start bacula-dir". In the old days,
if the director failed to start because of a configuration error,
I would get a fairly comprehensible explanation why, down to the
line number! I don see anything in /var/log/messages. Any idea
where to look for those good old explanatory errors to see why my
director refuses to start?
Thanks much!
