[Bug 645082] Re: bacula misses requirement of gawk

[Fred Baumgarten]

Hi Serge !

I am pretty sure it matters. If gawk and mawk are installed the same
time, the user has to decide what awk is the default. If he uses mawk as
default via /etc/alternatives, /usr/bin/awk points to
/etc/alternatives/awk which points to /usr/bin/mawk. If bacula depends
on gawk (as quoted in the first line of
/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk), RunBeforeJob =
"/usr/bin/awk -f /etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk -v
cat1=MyCatalog /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf" will fail, because the
statement in line number 1 is not read.

either way is possible:

RunBeforeJob = "/usr/bin/gawk -f
/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk -v cat1=MyCatalog
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf"

which will use the correct awk, or

RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk -v
cat1=MyCatalog /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf"

which will use the first line in the script to find the correct awk but
requires the executable bit set which is not the case right now.
Therefore the right fix would be adding the "g" in solution number 1.

Thanks for your work,

Fred
