Leon,

After replying to you earlier today, I spent a little time testing Josh's
benablemag script, and thought about my "just create a script to run in an
Admin job" comment.

Thought that it required a little more information.

So, here is my Admin job called "UpdateSlots" which runs before all of my
other jobs each night.

--[snip]--
# ----------------
# Update Slots Job
# ----------------
Job {
  Name = UpdateSlots
  Client = None
  Type = Admin
  FileSet = None
  Storage = c0
  Schedule = WeeklyToOffsiteDisk
  Messages = Standard
  Priority = 8
  SpoolData = no
  Pool = Default

  RunScript {
    RunsWhen = Before
    RunsOnClient = no
    Fail Job On Error = no
    Command =
"/etc/bacula/include/mag_and_vol_scripts/auto_enable_disable_vols.sh"
    Command = "/etc/bacula/include/runbefore-updateslots.sh"
  }
}
--[snip]--

Here is the runbefore-updateslots.sh script that is called:

--[snip]--
#!/bin/bash
#
# waa - 20091110
# --------------
BC="/usr/sbin/bconsole"
CONF="/path/to/bconsole.conf"
STORAGE="c0"
DRIVE="0"

$BC -c $CONF << WAAEOF
update slots storage=$STORAGE drive=$DRIVE
quit
WAAEOF
--[snip]--


And here is the auto_enable_disable_vols.sh script I am using starting today.

Hope this helps - someone. :)
