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?
Thanks,
Greg
