AMCLEANUP(8) System Administration Commands AMCLEANUP(8)
NAME
amcleanup - run the Amanda cleanup process after a failure
SYNOPSIS
amcleanup [-k] [-p] [-r] [-v] config
DESCRIPTION
Amcleanup generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server 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
tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usually during system boot).
The amcleanupdisk program is run with the same [-r] and [-v] options.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
OPTIONS
-k
Kill all process listed in the log file are their child. if there is no log file, then kill all amdump and amflush process and their
child.
-p
Do the cleanup only if all process listed in the log file are already terminated.
-r
Remove bad file in holding disk. This options is passed to amcleanupdisk.
-v
Generate verbose output. This options is passed to amcleanupdisk.
EXAMPLES
This example runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand after a failure.
% amcleanup daily
Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs the Amanda cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating
the need to run it by hand.
/usr/local/sbin/amcleanup daily
If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:
amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
