If you're hungry, and you can't be bothered getting off your fat butt to go get something to eat - guess what? You starve. No magical genie will pop out of the computer and feed you. It appears the lists are run by mailman, subscribers can simply tell the list to not send them any mail if they don't want it, or unsubscribe even more easily than they easily subscribed (as the unsubscribe link comes in every message). -- Matt PS: please do not break the list by munging the reply-to headers.

In the Debian packages that's /usr/lib/bacula/bscan.mysql (its not in the path) I ended up writing a script which I placed in the path called "bscan" that looks something like this: --- bscan.sh --- #!/bin/sh BSCAN=/usr/lib/bacula/bscan.mysql echo "\n*** bscan wrapper\n\nDevice: HP_C5713A\n" $BSCAN -c /usr/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -P password -h dbhost "$@" --- end snip --- which gets called like so: $ bscan -s -V Daily0001 HP_C5713A Where Daily0001 is the currently mounted tape you wish to bscan and HP_C5713A is the name of the device in bacula-sd.conf (I have that echo in there so I can cut & paste it ;) FWIW I did this with my own restore problem of a few weeks back, and it resurrected files from a completely different host, I was unable to use bscan to retrieve the files I needed. -- Matt pgpnsGp6a9PDJ.pgp Description: PGP signature
