BCONSOLE(8)
π BCONSOLE β the Bacula management console, bestie π
okay so real talk: this is the bconsole page from section 8 of the manual, living under Network backup, recovery and verification. It's short, it's sweet, and it's literally your little chat window into Bacula. Let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
bconsole β Bacula's management Console π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
bconsole [options]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
This manual page documents briefly the bconsole command. That's it, that's the whole vibe β it's giving "short and iconic," not "encyclopedia entry" π
π OPTIONS π
Every single flag, no skips, no cap:
-Ddir β Select a Director. Pick your main character π―-lβ List defined Directors. Look at the whole roster, slay π-cconfig β Specify configuration file. Your own custom config, periodt β¨-dnn β Set debug level to nn. Turn the volume up on the β¨detailsβ¨-dtβ Print timestamp in debug output. So you know when everything went down π-nβ No conio (for scripting). Scripting girlies, this one's for you π€-sβ No signals (for debugging). Debug mode, but make it signal-free π-unn β Set command execution timeout to nn seconds. Patience? We have a number for that β³-tβ Test the configuration file and report errors. A lil vibe check before you commit π§-?β Show version and usage of program. Lost? Just ask, babe π
