*Hi,

I am using shell wrapper to run my pre- and post- backup scripts.
However, when Amanda runs my new dump script, I get such
error message.
*

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
 mymachine /dev/sda11 lev 0 STRANGE

so I looked through the log file, and the log said:

*Is there anything wrong with my wrapped dump script or I cannot wrap
the dump script at all? My wrapped dump script is attached
below.
