Amanda::Changer::compat


NAME

Amanda::Changer::compat -- run "old" changer scripts


DESCRIPTION

This package calls through to old Changer API shell scripts using the new API. If necessary, it writes temporary configurations under $AMANDA_TMPDIR and invokes the changer there, allowing multiple distinct changers to run within the same Amanda process.

See the amanda-changers(7) manpage for usage information.

NOTE

In-process reservations are handled correctly - only one device may be used at a time. However, the underlying scripts do not support reservations, so another application can easily run the script and change the current device. Caveat emptor.
