Unfortunately, amrecover is not script-friendly. I think your options
are:
* use some Expect-like tool
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect
  http://search.cpan.org/~rgiersig/Expect/Expect.pod
* write a script using amfetchdump or amrestore to fetch images and then
extract them

A rewrite of amrecover in Perl is expected "sometime", but I don't think
it will happen for a while because a good number of pieces it needs also
need to be Perl-ified. What sort of interface would be convenient for
you? Would you be willing to do some of the coding for this?

Cheers,

IIRC I have seen an amanda client rpm package which only included the amgetconf
manpage, and nothing else with that name.

Thank you for all your suggestions! Just want to let you know that I
reinstalled the amanda-client port (I am on a FreeBSD) and amgetconf is
now working as expected. Backups resumed! :) Ufff... you can imagine that
this makes me happy :)

Thank you!
