cd $(amgetconf <config> indexdir)
you'll find a set of hostname dirs,
under that, DLEname dirs
In the DLEname dirs are the indexes by date.
The indexes have one filename per line.
They are gzipped, so if you have the "gzgrep"
command they are easy to look at. Just a little
more work otherwise.
So after the above cd, you could do a
gzgrep '\.dmp$' */*/*
And sit back. Of course, if you have a lot of
hosts/DLEs/saved dumps, you might exceed the
maximum command line length. So it might take
a few greps :)
