In http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-6.html:
I suggest writing a script to run ./configure if you have many
customizations or if you have multiple configurations.
Under troubleshooting, http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-14.html,
If you think amanda isn't running but a ps -ax shows that there is an
amandad, it may be a zombie process. That will cause the protocol to
fail.
Is it possible you could farm out some of the writing?
