There are two many variables in the above :-). The Subject line implies the cron job is being run by "amanda". The mail came from "root" (which might just be the way cron works on your system). Yet "fabio" got the mail. Can you determine which user actually tried to run "/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1"? >"amanda.conf", line 26: configuration keyword expected >"amanda.conf", line 26: end of line expected >... What happens if you run "/usr/sbin/amgetconf DailySet1 logdir" as the same user that ran the cron job (I assume amgetconf is in the same directory as amdump)? Look at the beginning of /usr/sbin/amdump (it's a shell script) for the assignment to variable "confdir". What is it set to? Is it set to "/etc/amanda"? Do /usr/sbin/amdump and /usr/sbin/amgetconf have roughly the same modification timestamp? If so, what is the "SUF" variable set to in amdump (just a few lines after the "confdir" assignment)? >Fabio.
