Hi Kevin, It's easy to try the newest amstatus.
download http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.4p3-20040917.tar.gz run "./configure ..." with your options run "make" You can now run the amstatus in server-src/amstatus directly, you don't need to run "make install" Jean-Louis On Thu, Sep 16, 2004 at 09:03:32AM -0400, KEVIN ZEMBOWER wrote: > Hi, Jean-Louis, thank you for all your work and efforts to update the Amanda code > and make it better. > > I'm very reluctant to promise to try the snapshot, because of my inexperience.
