[Bacula-users] Can Bacula set job pool from environmental variable?

Is it possible for Bacula to get the pool to be used for a job from an 
environmental variable, or otherwise set it programmatically?

I have a Tandberg SLR7 tape drive for backup of home directories on our HTPC.  
I want to have a weekly full backup, followed by daily incremental on the 
following 6 days, all on the same tape. I want a 5 week rotation, with a 
separate pool for each week to make sure the right tape is used.

I have got a script to work out which pool to use (by time elapsed since start 
of the backup regime) and set the appropriate pool name in an environmental 
variable I can set this as a pre-job command, but director gives an error if 
the job pool is set to anyhting other than the string literal ID of a defined 
pool. I can schedule to use the correct pool by using "W01", "W02" etc., but it 
is cumbersome & will have need to be re-worked over the year end.

Any ideas if & how I can automatically set pool to be "Week1", "Week2" etc. 
depending on where we are in the cycle?

Thanks,
Andrew
