Hmm. Myself, I'd prefer a "include-from-script" directive I could place in the director. I suppose when you get down to it, both potential features (entire conf from script, subset from script) can be accomplished with existing capabilities (run script first, include from generated file.) Nevertheless, I can't speak for many others, but if I could write a line to "grab client/job definitions from this script" within bacula- dir.conf, I would use it. -- --Darien A.
