Greetings;
The amadmin reporting function "balance" is only working 'bare bones'.
According to the help screen, and the manpage we are supposed to be able to
append "--days num" to the end of the command line, but it seems to be an
unsupported option, so I guess this is a regression, but TBT I have no clue
when it started as I had never tried to make it a bit more verbose until
tonight. I have a 5 day dumpcycle, so this s/b legal I think:
[root@coyote amanda]# su - amanda -c "amadmin Daily balance --days 4"
amadmin: unrecognized option '--days'
Usage: amadmin [--version] [--no-default] [--print-source] [-o
configoption]*

should work tonight.
