Summary0000876: modify the bareos-dir -t command to validate a single conf
DescriptionI use puppet to automate configuration changes to bareos.
to prevent puppet from deploying a bad configuration file change, i would like to take advantage of the puppet validate_cmd parameter.
to use this parameter i need a command that can be run, that takes a filename as input and return whether or not there are syntax errors in the file.
ex : bareos-dir -t bitbucket-backup.conf
almost works as is, but it errors out while trying to resolve all the references.
perhaps an extra parameter could be provide that tells bareos to ignore reference resolution and only do syntax checking.
obviously this would not be a complete configuration validation without the reference validation, but will would provide some degree of bad config deployment.

I understand your request. However, I know the code and don't see this happening soon.

If see following alternatives:
  * use the "configure add" command (obviously only für adding a resource)
  * copy the new config file in place and test the full configuration (bareos-dir -t). If it fails, remove your change again.
  * As the second approach may cause problems with simultaneous changes: copy the existing configuration into a private tmp directory (mktemp), apply your change and check this (bareos -t -c $YOUR_TMP_CONFIG).
