All-

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the title that is displayed at
the top of a report generated with gstclreport?

I've scripted running the stock "Daily Summary" report 5 times, each with
different parameters, and generating 5 PDFs and then merging the PDFs
into one, to provide reports to our on-campus backup SLA (service level
agreement) customers.  Rather than having each page have a title of
"Daily Summary", I would like to be able to change the title for each page,
so I can highlight what's being reported in each.

For example, when I run the report and display only full backups for the
last 6 months in bar chart format, I want to have the report generated
with a title of "Data backed up during full backups, last six months" or
something similar.

I've tried passing

        -C "Title" "My Report Title"

and

        -C "Report Title" "My Report Title"

to gstclreport, but it doesn't like either of those as valid report
parameters.

Just about everything else is configurable when generating the reports,
it seems hard to believe that there would be no way to configure a different
title.

I know I could generate the reports in plain text and then substitute my
own title, but I would really like to have all of these generated directly
in PDF format -- it makes dealing with the charts and just doing a merge
of the 5 PDFs much easier.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tim
