NAME

amcleanup - run the Amanda cleanup process after a failure

SYNOPSIS

amcleanup config

DESCRIPTION

Amcleanup

generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete for some reason (usually because of a tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usually during system boot).

See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

OPTIONS

-k

Kill all Amanda processes.

EXAMPLES

This example runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand after a failure.

 % amcleanup daily
 

Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs the Amanda cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating the need to run it by hand.

 /usr/local/sbin/amcleanup daily
 

If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:

 amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
