... But:
[root@coyote Daily]# su - amanda -c "amadmin Daily due | grep 3"
Due in 3 days: coyote:/root
Due in 3 days: coyote:/usr/movies
Due in 3 days: coyote:/usr/pix
root isn't outsized, but movies and pix about tie with /home for size.
Now, one would think that this would be correct, based on the above output:
[root@coyote Daily]# su - amanda -c "amadmin Daily force coyote:/usr/pix"
Argument 'coyote:/usr/pix' matches neither a host nor a disk.
amadmin: no disk matched
Which is probably a good thing because if it succeeded, it would put it
with /home, the other huge dle and due tonight. But it seems reasonable to
expect it to take exactly the same argument for the 'force' that it
returned in the 'due' query. But the man page says it is 2 arguments, could
it not do the split automatically by considering the colon as a space? It
would enhance the usage IMO.
Cheers, gene
