Your script is beautiful, but on my server it didn't works. i have changed the 
path correctly, but it give me this error:

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I'd like to use your script, because is better than my very simple script 
(shown below) :)

----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
ls /etc/amanda/
echo 'Give me config name: '
read CONFIG
cd `amgetconf $CONFIG indexdir`
echo 'Give me filename or regular expression to find it: '
read FNAME
echo 'Searching... please, wait... when finished, look at timpestamp'
zgrep $FNAME */*/*|more
echo 'Give me timestamp from the result of search (ex. 20050607): '
read TIMESTMP
echo 'Tape label: '
grep $TIMESTMP /etc/amanda/bkalfa/tapelist
echo 'Now you have the path, filename and tape label, you can restore file(s) la
unching amrecover'
----------------------------------------------------------

best regards,
Giovanni

Oggetto: Re: Search file in amanda database


Quite some time ago, I wrote a script to do this.  It still works on my
system, but I am still running 2.4.2p2 on AIX.  I can't promise that it
will work for you, but here it is if you want to try.
