I personally think their worries are missplaced, but that and a $1
bill will get you a cuppa most anyplace. However, I did a killall
amandad here, then before I tried to run it I found I had 2 copies,
one of which was maybe a leftover from an rpm install, so I rm'd it
and ran the other one with an & as the eol. It died shortly, so
I'd assume there is more to it than that. And there does not seem
to be a manpage for it.
I just checked my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda script and it was running the
recently installed version, but has not restarted it in about 10
minutes since I killed it. Humm, odd. Before a restart of xinetd
would restart amandad, (I tried that twice) I had to re-install, so
maybe that second copy in /usr/lib/amanda is needed after all. And
I hope I didn't kill a 70 meg OO-1.0.2 download doing that, I only
have a 56k dialup line.
So at this point, I don't know if you could successfully put the
amandad launch in rc.local or not. All I can say is try it, and
watch it occasionally with ps to make sure its running. Maybe even
write a script for cron to run that checks to see if its running,
and restarts it if it isn't. Or a wrapper script that runs it,
waits till it exits, sleeps 5 seconds and loops. The sleep 5 is to
keep it from hogging the system in case something is really fubar.
Does anybody else have a better idea? Thats my best shot at it.
