Crontab entry 3. Tape Type entry I'll try and answer this tonight. This morning, when I looked, amdump didn't run to completion here. Sometime in the night, my samba link to another machine did something, locking up an 'ls' of the supposedly mounted directory so tight it couldn't be killed! The only link left was the shell I had ssh'd to it, running ksetispy in the background so I could watch both machines. amcheck eventually timed out too, and at 20:31 last night, all was well. I wound up rebooting both machines. amcheck now runs normally, but it appears something is foobared for sure. On Sunday 13 January 2002 01:16 am, W.
