our tape changer seems to become a little unreliable in that it failed

and suggests running amflush then.
These events can go unnoticed too easily when glancing at the daily mail
from amreport, so I would like to somehow setup for getting another mail
besides the report, to different addresses, in such cases.
In my reports those errors spring into sight very easily:
the first few lines are completely different layout / stars /
uppercase letters. Quite a good imitation of Amanda screaming for
assistance.
But if it isn't loud enough, then maybe just a script that checks
for files in the holdingdisk after the run, and warn you of the
needed flush? But this will not catch when Amanda fails to do
anything at all...
Keeping the "FAILURE AND STRANGE..." section small, i.e. handling
those errors, instead of allowing minor errors in there, helps to
spot real errors too.
I changed my patterns to categorize as normal, that certain files are
"changed are we read it" etc. It would help if I didn't need to
recompile the Amanda binaries for this.
