This is a short howto : many thanks to Paul Bijnens (also on this list), he is the one that put me on the right track in implementing this solution.

I need to be able to do a /usr/bin/mysql -e"flush tables with read lock;" on the remote amanda client before I do a backup, and unlock it when I am done. Other than just making a guess about when to start and end and using a cron job, is there a way to make amanda issue the commands I need. (See attached file: amanda.txt)
