That was not the firewall problem. When amanda was amchecking that time, the
network got problem. So, amcheck did not run properly. I am using
"-auth=bsd" auth. Let's forget about this kind of error or network problem.
No matter what happen whether in this kind of situation or else, what do I
need to set to kill gtar program in client automatically? or any opinions?

I am running amcleanup before amcheck because if it failed I don't have to
run amcleanup manually. We don't know when it will fail rite?

So, I should set amcleanup after amdump finished (at noon)?
