The two that failed returned a status of 152 -> 0x98 -> 0x80 + 0x18 -> 0x80 + 24. Freely translated, that's still our SIGTSTP signal (24), but it also says gzip dropped core (0x80). Take a look in /tmp/amanda and see if there are any core files from gzip. Try: $ gdb /bin/gzip core gdb> bt I also looked through all the Amanda source and it never sends a TSTP signal, just TERM and KILL (that was not a surprise). You might try changing the script to call gzip like this: /usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/gzip.strace.$$ /bin/gzip "$@" If it generates too much output, you might try: /usr/bin/strace -e 'trace=!read,write' -o /tmp/gzip.strace.$$ /bin/gzip "$@" This is fast becoming a gzip or Linux debugging session rather than an Amanda one. > Chris_Marble John R.
