amcleanup \- run the Amanda cleanup process after a failure
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 10
\fBamcleanup\fR \fIconfig\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBAmcleanup\fR
generates the
\fI\fIAmanda\fR\fR\fI Mail Report\fR
and updates the
\fIAmanda\fR
databases after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup process is normally done automatically as part of the
\fBamdump\fR
program, but if
\fBamdump\fR
cannot complete for some reason (usually because of a tape server host crash),
\fBamcleanup\fR
must be run some time later (usually during system boot).
.PP
See the
\fBamanda\fR(8)
man page for more details about
\fIAmanda\fR.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-k\fR
.RS 4
Kill all Amanda processes.

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
This example runs the
\fIAmanda\fR
cleanup process by hand after a failure.
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
% amcleanup daily
.fi
.RE
.PP
Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g.
\fI/etc/rc.local\fR) runs the
\fIAmanda\fR
cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating the need to run it by hand.
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
/usr/local/sbin/amcleanup daily
.fi
.RE
.PP
If nothing needs to be done,
\fBamcleanup\fR
exits normally with the message:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
