Re: [Bacula-users] %l in CLient Run Before Job seems broken (or is it just me that's broken) ?

... I did this differently, probably what you call crufty.
To back up my mailserver and user mailboxes, I need a file list, and I 
need some helper programs called to save the mail server state.

So I created a shell script that does both: Print the file list to 
stdout, and create the mail server data files. Works, but its a little 
asymmetric: I have a script to create the file list, and a client run 
after job script to delete temporary data. Well, crufty, but effective.

It would even be nice if not only the order was documented in which the 
different programs are called, but if the estimate command had a swicth 
scripts so you could have the run before scripts executed when estimating...
