I have a script which calls amdump, amtoc, amverify
in succession for a nightly backup
I found that if no tape was inserted, amdump quickly returns,
but amverify later keeps hanging around, calling ammt rewind
every now and then ad nauseam.
why is that?
The amdump (and other amanda) man-pages do not talk about
return codes. So it is safe to assume that if amdump(8)
returned !=0 that it returned an error and I can use
|| exit to stop it from continuing?
