Taking those in turn:
The script paths are limited for security reasons. The Amanda
protocol's security is pretty minimal, so a facility to run an
arbitrary executable is dangerous.
pfexec/sudo - I'm not sure Amanda should get into the business of
running scripts via these utilities.
Would it be possible, to solve both of these, to write a simple "stub"
script like
#! /bin/sh
exec /path/to/my/script
or even
#! /bin/sh
pfexec --pfexec-params /path/to/my/script
If I've misunderstood, let me know.
