Some times it happens.

Usually amanda runs at 00:00. But some people take work home and it happens 
sometimes.

It not very important, I just would like it not show on FAILURE AND STRANGE 
DUMP SUMMARY 
(I have a script that only sends me the report when this line apears) so I had 
one less mail to check.

thanks

Luis
