The documentation seems to agree with you, but I once found another command somewhere (don't remember exactly where), with just the -v switch.

So the reload script I created to check & reload without having to enter the full details looks like this (there are three lines if wrapping should occur, # prepended to 2nd and 3rd line for safety):

#!/bin/sh
# bacula-dir -v /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
# [ $? -eq 0 ] && service bacula-director reload || echo Config error found, NOT reloading.


It seems to work as intended, with good as well as with bad config files.
Is it really trying to start another instance of bacula-dir, or was I using some undocumented feature without realizing?


When I add a -t switch, with or without -c, I get 4 or 5 lines of output about orphaned buffers.
With only -v, I don't get those, but I *do* get the correct exit code to indicate OK or bad config.
