Absolutely. kmail OTOH has crashed 4x today. Last time was clicking on

I do 2GB in the dumps dir, but its all reassembled to the vtape. Now that
I've done a 64 bit install, I might remove that breakup, but not before
I find out why I was able to run it as amanda from a cli, but amanda's
crontab attempt dies in 11 seconds. I've added some more echos to the
script which should show me whats fubar in the crontab launch, I hope.
And I've fixed I hope, why I haven't been getting the emails from
previous attempts since the crontabs were all copied over from the
wheezy 32 bit install.
Take care Charles.
