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, amflush and amvault 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.
