Worked like I knew what I was doing! amcheck is tickled pink too: NOTE: info dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/curinfo/coyote/PublicAnz' does not exist it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/index/coyote/PublicAnz' does not exist it will be created on the next run NOTE: info dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/curinfo/coyote/PublicAhm' does not exist it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/index/coyote/PublicAhm' does not exist it will be created on the next run NOTE: info dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/curinfo/coyote/PublicAag' does not exist it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir '/usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/index/coyote/PublicAag' does not exist it will be created on the next run Who knows, might have to adjust the split, but its got to be an improvement. Here all this time I thought the path was arg(1). The man page for disklist is a bit obtuse in its use of wordings. Particularly so for someone who was taught phonics in his official schooling. A subject that is IMNSHO sorely lacking in any us funded school for around 75 ears now. That lack is evident in todays journalistic output. Their students can't read the front page of the weekly fishwrap, not to mention the Daily from the next city up the pike. They could learn a lot from a comic strip featuring a duck called Mallard Philmore, who loves to point out the sometimes very different meanings of very similar words. Thanks Chris. I've also noticed the BETSOL guy is quiet, so I'd mention fork again and take up a collection to pay JLM at least a part-time wage. Think TANSTAAFL folks. Change the license just enough to bring in copyright and donate a dollar per active entry in our disklists a year. Even on SS, I can find that much. As some of you may know, I've worked for an MBA, and as a sheriffs deputy was escorting him and a bankers box with his personal stuff out of the building for cookong the books, I told him to make sure the doorknob didn't hit him in the ass on his way out. He was basically a salesman, and didn't have a clue about running a tv station's AND its legal responsibilities, which as the Chief Operator I was designated as, were my responsibilities. Tried to fire me because I stopped a payola scam, not once but twice. We didn't exactly geehaw after the owner told him "not no, but hell no", to both. Copyright 2018 by Maurice E.
