Question using amflush

label Normal18 tape 0 I'm a bit confused because I now see a folder 20041207 in my /var/holding. It's empty, which is good if it's working properly. Why isn't anything being populated too(amflush and log file)? Is there any way to tell if it's running properly? thanks, James

Re: Question using amflush

. If this isn't normal then I guess I should kill it. Then I need to know what the Root Cause is so I can fix it. On another matter, could of I just deleted these directories if I didn't want to flush them or would that cause problems? Thanks, James Paul Bijnens lt;[EMAIL PROTECTED]gt; wrote: James
