We are running the server on Solaris and a client on MAC OS X
but are seening that the launchd process seems to invalidate
the service.

So far I haven't found the actual line in /var/log/system.log
but I see these messages which show the intent, so I believe
I'm on track.

Jan  6 18:32:09 trel launchd: org.amanda.amandad: 7 more failures without 
living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal

On the client
amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.5p1"

Should we use xinetd instead ?

                                                TIA,
