Is it possible to run the amandad daemon as a standalone process and not from inetd or xinetd?
No, but if you want to avoid (x)inetd (why?) then, if you have nc (netcat) installed, this could work:
as user amanda, run (maybe with "nohup ... &"):
while :
do nc -l -u -p 10080 -e /.../amandad
done(never tested, no promises, no garantees, no warranty, YAYOR.)
Why would like to avoid (x)inetd? Just curious.
