Hi,

we had the discussion here latley on how to retrieve the client's adress
from bacula-dir.conf for RunAfter/Before scripts. I got some awk here that
works for me that I'd like to share:

BEGIN       {RS="}\n"; FS = "\n";}
/Client[[:space:]]+{/ {
    found = 0;
    for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
        if ($i ~ /Name/) {
            split ($i, nameinfo, "[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*");
            if (nameinfo[2] == name) {
                found = 1;
            }
        }
        if ($i ~ /Address/ && found == 1) {
            split ($i, addressinfo, "[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*");
            address = addressinfo[2];
            if (address ~ /(^[[:space:]]+)|([[:space:]]+$)/) {
                gsub(/^[[:space:]]+/, "", address);
                gsub(/[[:space:]]+$/, "", address);
            }

            break;
        }
    }
    if (found)
        printf ("%s\n", address);
}
END         {}

It can be called like this:
awk -v name=<CLIENT NAME> -f <script_name> /path/to/bacula-dir.conf

I use this together with %c to retrieve the Client's address.

Credits for this need to go to my fellow DragonFly BSD colleague Joe
Talbott, who put this together for me as my awk capabilites are a little
limited :)

Hope this of use to others, too.

Jan
