Bug#297690: amanda-server: amtoc manpage misleading

[Herbert Thielen]

 The usage section of amtoc(8) suggests:
 
  amdump DailySet1 ; logdir=`amgetconf DailySet1 logdir` ;
  log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log
 
 This doesn't work as the START taper lines are in the log files
 amdump.* only, not in the log.* files.

Hmmm, seems it wasn't a SW or man page problem, but a configuration
problem.

I removed the logfile entry from amanda.conf and added the appropriate
logdir entry, and now it seems to work fine.

Probably the example amanda.conf for DailySet1 should be updated
according to /usr/share/doc/amanda-common/examples/amanda.conf.gz.

Bug#297690: amanda-server: amtoc manpage misleading

[Herbert Thielen]

Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:2.4.4p3-2
Severity: minor

The usage section of amtoc(8) suggests:

amdump DailySet1 ; logdir=`amgetconf DailySet1 logdir` ;
log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log

This doesn't work as the START taper lines are in the log files
amdump.* only, not in the log.* files.

The example works as following:
amdump DailySet1 ; logdir=`amgetconf DailySet1 logdir` ;
amtoc -a $logdir/amdump.1
as amdump.1 is always the last amdump log file.
