Re: Amanda time

[Bert_De_Ridder]

In the year 2003....

It is the date in the subject line of the mail AND the filename of the log (log.20031121.0)

I'm looking at the file from bash-shell (if I 'touch' a file; it gets the correct date)

The content of the log :  (top 2 lines)
START driver date 20031121
START planner date 20031121

The top line of amdump.1
amdump: start at Fri Nov 21 00:30:28 CET 2003

In november amanda was not yet installed on the server, so it's not an old file
If i create an amreport in a file, that file gets the correct date.

Weird, huh?

In what year :-)

Is it the date in the mail report Subject line?
Or is the date that you see for a command like:
    $ ls -l ~amanda/ConFig/log.20040409.0

How do you look at that file?  Using NFS or Samba maybe?

The first line of that file also contains a date:

    $ head -1 ~amanda/ConFig/log.20040409.0
    START driver date 20040409

The first line of amdump.1 also contains a datetime stamp.

    $ head ~amanda/ConFig/amdump.1
    amdump: start at Fri Apr  9 00:04:01 CEST 2004

Maybe you're just looking in the wrong directory (one that was used 20
Nov 2003 for doing a test?)

AFAIK, there is only a date in the Subject header of the mail, and
on the postscript label.
