I'm new to Amanda and after several days of reading the docs. I'm
still unclear as to when is it necessary to restart Amanda. In
particular, is it necessary for me to restart amanda after making
changes to the amanda.conf file on the tapehost? If so, what is the
proper way to restart amanda?
Amanda is not a daemon.
Programs that constitute Amanda only run when you run them, or when you
schedule them off cron.
So there is no restarting unless you happen to have a job running that
has gone awry. Then you may have to kill something and/or run amcleanup
(I've never had to do that). Typically, if I'm not sure what is going
on, and Amanda is running, I'll run amstatus, and it gives me plenty of
information that generally puts me at ease.
