AMCLEANUP(8)

NAME
amcleanup - runs the Amanda cleanup process after a failure

SYNOPSIS
amcleanup config

DESCRIPTION
Amcleanup generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on the master host. This cleanup process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete for some reason (usually because of a host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

EXAMPLES

% amcleanup csd
    Runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand during the day after noticing a failure.

if [ -s /var/log/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.log ]
then
	/usr/local/libexec/amanda/amcleanup csd
fi
    Putting the above in /etc/rc.local runs the Amanda cleanup process when needed as part of the reboot, eliminating the need to run it by hand.
