What a great idea (perfect for platforms that don't support GTK and therefore which don't allow for the GUI-based monitoring and control tools that Kern already put together for Bacula). Thanks for sharing this with the Bacula community! Cheers! Using ruby on its own, I've developed Bacuwatch, a program used to keep a watch on a group of Bacula jobs. Typically, it is run from a cron job, and is configured to send an email message with a single line status report on each backup job to the Bacula administrator and optionally to send a more detailed report on each job to the user of the machine which that job backs up. -- John Kodis. - Take Surveys.

I'm going to have fun and throw out an totally off the wall idea. Off the wall because 1) I have no idea if anyone would want this, and 2) I am not 100% sure it could even be done. Has anyone thought about integrating Kross http://kross.dipe.org/ into Bacula? You can easily define the API you want to expose, and you automatically have scripting available in Python, Ruby, and KDE Javascript. I have a hunch it will have too many dependencies on KDE libraries to integrate in a server daemon, but it's sure a fun idea! j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111 - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula scripting with Ruby?
Hi! I'm very interested in your progress, as I also really love Ruby and Bacula.. I did make a little Ruby script to parse the bacula-dir.conf and make a list of all jobs in a human readable format so my users can look for themselves what is actually included on their backups. I posted it before, but if you missed that I can mail it to you if you're interested. Greetings Salutations, Ger. Op zondag 26 november 2006 08:43, schreef Hydro Meteor: Hello all ... I have successfully configured and made / installed the current version of Bacula on Ubuntu Dapper Drake with Postgresql 8.1.3 (a nice first step for a newbie), and I included in configure the python option (since python does make for a nice scripting language).

Though I have nothing against Python, I have recently become enamored with Ruby (and of course Ruby seems to be getting a shot of interest these days thanks in part to the Ruby on Rails project).
