Thanks, thats one thing I'd never managed to stick in my little gh.cf script. Tis now! And it (amrecover) works much better now, all I have to do is a setdisk to point it at the /partition/files I want, and an ls then shows me all of it. If I cd locally to the area I want to recover, then its all automatic, an ls shows me whats available. Nice. Here all this time it was just a few minor details that kept amrecover from being usefull. I think the only gotcha in my persent lashup is that my disklist uses the machines FQDN alias, eg "coyote" as opposed to "coyote.coyote.den" and "gene" as opposed to "gene.coyote.den". I have both the FQDN and the alias entered into my ~.amanahosts file, but I see amrecover hunting around before it finds the host server, which it does, but that could alarm a brand gnu bee. :-) I was gonna change that to FQDN, but then it would be 18 days before I had an uptodate index dir again. Nuh-huh. Amanda and I can live with this. I'm glad I decided to tackle this new version of tar, its also prompted me to fix a couple of other little niggles and learn a few things about amrecover at the same time, which is always good. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
