Re: [Bacula-users] Variable expansion problem

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

Use the console "var" command to see what the expansion
will do.  Since you are in the console, some items are
more or less randomly picked such as Job, Client, ...
because you are not really running a job, but it should
give you an idea of what will happen.

Best regards,

Kern
