Syntax error in chg-disk

2008-08-21 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi, I am using chg-disk on Amanda 2.5.1p3 on FreeBSD and while I was trying it by hand, I found a Bourne Sheel syntax error: around the line 83, it should read: if test X"$TAPE" = X""; then With a single = instead of the == operator found in the script. I am not sure it is an error in Amand

Oliver, The simple answer is to use chg-manual, which waits for operator intervention. You will have to adjust a symlink as well as the disk connections. If it is possible to script the disk switch, you should be able to write a changer script that does what you want. --Ian On Thursday 21 Aug
