\14 run the AMANDA cleanup process after a failure
17 Amcleanup generates the AMANDA Mail Report and updates the AMANDA databases
18 after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup process is normally
19 done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete
20 for some reason (usually because of a tape server host crash), amcleanup must
21 be run some time later (usually during system boot).
22 See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA.
26 This example runs the AMANDA cleanup process by hand after a failure.
30 Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs
31 the AMANDA cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating the need to run
34 /usr/local/sbin/amcleanup daily
36 If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:
38 amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
