You would probably be able to confirm this by looking in the amanda log/debug files for the amtape process (i.e. /var/log/amanda/server/<CONFIG>/amtape.*.debug on Ubuntu) , but I'm pretty sure that you do actually need the empty argument in order to disable the interactivity, something like private static final String AMTAPEOPT2 = "-ointeractivity=''"; (I am not particularly certain that interactivity is your specific problem, but it seemed a plausible explaination and one that that was fairly easy to test out...) > if (!p.waitFor(60L, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.SECONDS)) { > System.err.printf("*** FlushOldVaults.amtape(): process > timeout\n"); > String kill[] = new String[2]; > kill[0] = "/bin/kill"; > Long j = new Long(p.pid()); > kill[1] = j.toString(); > Process killproc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(kill); > killproc.waitFor(); Note that in order to use the strace debugging, you'll probably need to disable this timeout+kill logic -- otherwise the amtape process won't hang out long enough for you to figure out what it's trying to do when when it's "stuck"....
