Yes, I believe that this will be thorny, especially as the functionality is mixed in the general parser and dird_conf.c. How about bareos-dir -c /you_path_to_a_configuration_directory_to_test/ -t or bareos-dir -c /you_configuration_file_to_test -t ? This will also work for the other daemon. With "-t" the director will also test if it has access to the catalog database and if the schema version is right. Maybe this is not wanted in your case, however, I assume it much easier to adapt this check instead of moving it to a shared library. If you are looking for runtime changes, take a look how the "configure add" bconsole handles this. Are you also aware of "bareos-dir -xs" to export the configuration schema? Last (and least): there is also the "bareos-config set_config_param" functionality, to change configuration files. Used by some installer to adapt the database setting. Example: /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/bareos-config set_config_param "bareos-dir" "Catalog" "MyCatalog" "dbdriver" "mysql" This works quite well, however is far from being perfect (uses a awk script).
