That must have taken you hours!!! :-). Prior to 2.4.2p2, the debug files took one of two forms. They either had a fixed name (e.g. amandad.debug) that was overwritten every time the program was run, or they included a PID (amandad.$$.debug). In the latter case, you needed another periodic process to clean out the files. I got tired of people not having the right debug file still around to help them with problems :-), so at 2.4.2p2 the names changed to always be unique and datestamped (amandad.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.debug, optionally with a three digit sequence number as well, just in case). At the same time, --with-debug-days was added to let Amanda do its own cleanup. The default value is four days to cover a long weekend. I set mine to 10 days (the files are small and cheap, but not having them when you need to figure something out is a real pain). >Ricky John R.
