Hi,

I was wondering if there is any documentation anywhere on the protocol that 
bconsole uses to connect to the director and issue commands?

I've built a web interface to the Bacula configuration files, and I would like 
to add the ability to reload the configuration and/or start or cancel jobs from 
that web interface as well.

If it's not well documented, I'll just tcpdump the connection between bconsole 
and the director itself and try to reverse-engineer it, but I was hoping that 
it was actually documented somewhere.

BTW: I don't need comments about re-inventing the wheel - I know there are 
other web-based Bacula tools out there; I built this one with specific 
organizational needs in mind.  All I want to know is if the protocol between 
bconsole and the director is documented somewhere.  I did find some 
documentation on the protocols for director-fd, direcdtor-sd and fd-sd, but 
nothing about bconsole-director.
