Hi, I have a cron script which runs nightly, performing an amdump, followed by amverify. Both work fine, except that I get an unexpected message from amverify:
The expected mail message gets sent from the amanda user to my mailbox: ------------------------------------------- Tapes: HomeDumps-04 No errors found! amverify HomeDumps Thu Nov 17 02:35:22 GMT 2005 Using device /dev/nst0 Volume HomeDumps-04, Date 20051117 Checked tony-lx._cvsroot.20051117.0 Checked tony-lx._home.20051117.0 End-of-Tape detected. ------------------------------------------- But, in addition, I get a message from cron: ------------------------------------------- No tape changer... Tape device is /dev/nst0... Verify summary to tony Defects file is /tmp/amanda/amverify.25355/defects amverify HomeDumps Thu Nov 17 02:35:22 GMT 2005 Using device /dev/nst0 Volume HomeDumps-04, Date 20051117 Checked tony-lx._cvsroot.20051117.0 Checked tony-lx._home.20051117.0 End-of-Tape detected. ------------------------------------------- This suggests that amverify is writing to stdout/stderr as well as to the mail message, which really is tortologous. This only seems to have started happening since I upgraded to amanda 2.4.5. So, what is the significance of this message, and how do I suppress it?
