I don't know if amandad is written to be a full-time server process.
The logic behind such a server is different than one designed for
use with inetd, so I wouldn't make any assumptions about this.

Inetd or a close relative is a standard fixture on unix machines. The
only inetd configuration you must do to support amanda is add three
lines to the inetd.conf and kill HUP the inetd process.
