That file isn't even an executable, so I'm not sure what you are doing. Or did you mean "/etc/init.d/amanda restart"? Is this a new installation or has this worked in the past? Most installations set up amanda to run from xinetd. If you use xinetd, is that working and set up correctly? One common gotcha is in the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda* file(s), set "disabled" to "no". You might check the log files. See the directory specified for logdir in your amanda.conf. What do you see when you run amdump (as the backup user) from the terminal? -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
