Hi folks,Just spent several frustrating hours trying to get some special backup configs into my bacula-dir.conf file. I'd shut down the Director, "sytemctl stop bacula-dir", edit the file, then start the Director, "systemctl start bacula-dir" and nothing. Did a "bacula-dir -t" and found some syntax errors, fixed those and then "systemctl start bacula-dir" and again - nothing. Tried "bacula-dir -t", no errors reported! Edited the conf file and commented out all my changes, then "systemctl start bacula-dir" and it worked. But I did not have the config I wanted.
So piece by piece I un-commented the lines I wanted, did a "bacula-dir -t", no errors reported. Tried to start, "systemctl start bacula-dir", nothing. Went back and forth this way for a long time finally commenting out again back to original file, then "bacula-dir -t", no errors reported. Tried to start, "systemctl start bacula-dir", nothing!
Then I rebooted the whole server - when it came up the Director was running!!! Stopped the Director, tried adding back in some of the config lines I wanted, did a "bacula-dir -t", no errors reported. Tried to start, "systemctl start bacula-dir", nothing! Again I rebooted - Director was running with my special config!!!
Not sure what was going on, but bottom line - don't trust systemd! -- myEMAILsignature Thomas Plancon CAD/IT MANAGER E: tplan...@bkaarchs.com W: www.bkaarchitects.com <http://www.bkaarchs.com> BKA/LOGO
