Hi Nathan, Amanda 3.4.5 on centos 7.
Using this:define interactivity inter_tty_email { plugin "tty_email" property "mailto" "i...@xxx.com" property "resend-delay" "10" property "check-file" "/tmp/email_input" property "check-file-delay" "10" } So I guess it will resend every 10 seconds. oops. so that answers the first question, thanks. Now what does that email mean? The entire email is below: Error reading Amanda header: Error reading 2097152 bytes from /dev/nst0: Input/output error Insert a new volume in flexstorii or write the name of a new changer in '/tmp/email_input' or write 'abort' in the file to abort the scan. (Waiting for the file to be created.) Any ideas?
