Subject: [Bacula-devel] script for creating many client FDs
Date Tue, 2 Dec 2003 19:41:28 -0500 (EST)
I created this script which may be useful to others. If you have to
create a bacula-fd.conf file for more than a few clients, it can become
time consuming, not to mention error prone.
Here is the usage:
$ sh client-build.sh
client-build.sh : usage client-build.sh DIRNAME DIRPASSWD CLIENTNAME
[CLIENTNAME...]
Where DIRNAME is the director name which can contact this client
PASSWD is the passwd to be supplied by the director
CLIENTNAME is the name of the client file daemon
The script creates ./tmp and places all output there.
bacula-fd.conf.in is the template it uses for creating the client scripts
and it must reside in the same directory as the script.
Enjoy
