I agree with you, but...
I have just remembered coming across this before. The thread starts here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-devel AT lists.sourceforge DOT
net/msg04050.html
Kern:
"Bacula does not support this option."
Me:
"It does appear to be *trying* to support it, as some parts of the code that
figure out dependent jobs take note of the job name, though others do not."
Kern:
"I wouldn't exactly say that it is trying to support it, but rather that since
the program is so complicated, and I try not to restrict it too much, there
are places where it can seem to work, but it is just not designed to do so
(at least at the moment), and thus it will not work. It isn't that I don't
want it to work, but there is only so much that the developers can do in the
time we have.
Unfortunate what you are trying to do is simply not possible in the way you
are trying to do it with the current code."

What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
Read this article and learn how Intel has extended the reach of its
next-generation tools to help Windows* and Linux* C/C++ and Fortran
developers boost performance applications - including clusters.
