It should start, sit there for 30 seconds and exit (unless you type something, in which case it will stop immediately, as amandad does not understand what you type).

RE: amanda cygwin question(s)
Hi Again whats does it say on the client's Linux of causer /tmp/amanda amandad.date.debug amcheck.date.debug I assume you have created the similar directories for your windoze box. Also can you run tcpdump to dump traffic on a network. # tcpdump host > /tmp/log_of_your_dump_packets I used tcpdump to check my client servers status and I thus was bale to sort my firewall which isn't your issue I know. I assume you are looking for tests to do from your windoze So I guess I am stuck all my windoze clients are only accessible from their work group and I backup them individualy with the ntbackup utiltiy as they are really only running standalone apps.

Re: amanda cygwin question(s)
Hi Robert Is your win box between a firewall or is it within the same LAN as I assume your linux/nix boxes. As I had timeout issues relating to my zope/plone server siting behind my firewall and not in my LAN. I had to increase my ipchains timeouts Thus note I am currently preparing,install/config as new fw(dmz) server to use Iptables In case you'll shout at me ;>(.
