Other then thats a interesting way of getting from proper change
control it ain't going to work without shell scripts or other trickery.

Each runscript in bacula not being a console command is run
via a bpipe (not the plugin) e.g. the program forks and performs
an execvp in the child and the output is captured in the parent
via a pipe. So any fancy shell escapes won't work as execvp
just simply executes the arguments you give it without a shell
being invoked. The only way to probably get around it is via
a sh -c "cmdline" and given you do rather elementary things
you might get away with that. In the last example you execvp a shell
and then you can do the shell redirection etc.
