Re: amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
This is what the amrecover sends to stdout: AMRECOVER Version 2.4.1p1. Contacting server on localhost ... amrecover: Unexpected server end of file And this is what I found in /var/log/messages: ... Jan 29 07:52:07 myhost xinetd[1318]: warning: can't get client address: Invalid argument Stan Brown worked on this almost a year ago and came up with the following patch, which I lost in my inbox (sigh). Please give it a try and let me know if it works so I can (finally) get it into a release. Jan 29 07:52:07 myhost xinetd[1318]: file descriptor of service amandaidx has been closed ... This happens only the very first time, if I try to connect via amrecover the next time, nothing happens in the syslog, but the amrecover client barfs: AMRECOVER Version 2.4.1p1. Contacting server on localhost ... amrecover: Error connecting to server: Connection refused That's because xinetd was **very** unhappy :-) and shut down the amandaidx service (see the message it logged). So there isn't anyone listening any more. I don't know how xinetd does it, but other versions of inetd will reenable a service after (e.g.) 10 minutes, or if you HUP them. Sebastian John R.
