I'm having a problem retrieving an archive. It was set up to run
through a shell program, but the same thing happens when running
from command line. I enter the command, it starts the retrieve which
happens to be on a mountpoint to temp work space on another server,
then as soon as it says done - it tells me the file exists what do I want
to
do? Of course it exists now adstar just retrieved it, however it did not
exist before the retrieve command. If I enter replace, it
just keeps looping. This was happening a few weeks ago and I added
the fromdate option and it was working for a few days, but after I added
it to a cron it died. I can't even get it to work from the command line
now.
Any suggestions?
