Hello,
I am trying to post my messages atomically: one topic at a time. Please
let me know if this is not correct...
I am trying to see why my cron job "amdump Daily" is sometimes failing
with the message:
"amdump: amdump or amflush is already running, or you must run
amcleanup"
This configuration has functioned before. Cron is executing as my
amanda user, and all permissions (I believe) are correct. Running
"amcleanup Daily" produces "amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean
up."
I looked in the amdump script to find the line "amdump or amflush is
already running":
if test -f $errfile || test -f $logdir/log; then
echo "amdump: amdump or amflush is already running,
or you must run amcleanup" >&2
exit 1
fi
Well, $errfile corresponds to "/var/amanda/DailySet1/amdump" and
$logdir/log corresponds to "/var/amanda/DailySet1/log". Neither one of
these files exist, so why is amdump balking at this point?
