Toomas,

Thanks, I'd seen similar for doing things like putting the tape
offline after the amdump completed.

I know you can use wrappers for doing similar things on the
amanda client (when the client != server) but I've never quite
gotten that down correctly and I'm looking to start/stop a
database on an amanda client so the files are quiessed during
the dump.

What is the right way to handle surounding tasks on the amanda-client ?
(A brief example if someone doesn't mind too much...)

                                                thanks,

                                                Brian
