Read this link first:
Removing "Strange" files
You could try something like what they suggest, like this:
find . -name '*[^][a-zA-Z0-9#%~:,._+-]*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
It'll find all files with those special characters and the print them, and the xargs command will remove them all. You probably want to try something like this without the xargs part first and just view the list of files to make sure you're not gonna delete anything you didn't want to!
You could also just backslash the special characters so they lose their special meaning, like:
ls | grep "filewith\"quotes"

script-email
SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
