| '''NOTE:''' amservice will be available in Amanda-2.6.1.
| | See {{man|8|amservice}}. |
| ==NAME==
| |
| | |
| '''amservice''' — run an amanda service on a client
| |
| | |
| ==SYNOPSIS==
| |
| | |
| amservice hostname auth service [-f input_file] [-o config_option]...
| |
| | |
| ==DESCRIPTION==
| |
| | |
| Amservice executes an amanda service on a client. It can be used without an amanda server configuration (amanda.conf and disklist). It can be used to check communication between a server and a client. Amservice reads stdin to capture the REQ packet to send to the client.
| |
| | |
| See the [[amanda]](8) man page for more details about Amanda. | |
| | |
| ==OPTIONS==
| |
| | |
| All options may be abbreviated to the shortest non-ambiguous sub-string. If no options are given, everything is displayed.
| |
| | |
| ; ''hostname'' : The hostname of the client.
| |
| | |
| ; ''auth'' : The auth to use, one of: bsd, bsdudp, bsdtcp, ssh, rsh or krb5. The client must be configured with this auth.
| |
| | |
| ; ''service'' : The amanda service to execute on the client. One of noop, selfcheck or sendsize.
| |
| | |
| ; -f ''input_file'' : Use the file input_file instead of stdin to read the REQ packet from.
| |
| | |
| ; -o ''config_option'': See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in [[amanda]](8).
| |
| | |
| ==EXAMPLE==
| |
| | |
| The noop service is easy to execute because it does not require a REQ packet:
| |
|
| |
| amservice hostname bsdtcp noop < /dev/null
| |
|
| |
| The exmple executes the noop service on the client using bsdtcp auth. This is useful for debugging connection problems. It prints an OPTIONS line upon success.
| |
| | |
| It is more difficult to execute the selfcheck or sendsize service, as these require a valid REQ packet. If you have already successfully run amanda, you can find valid REQ packets in the amandad.*.debug file.
| |
| | |
| ==EXIT CODES==
| |
| | |
| The exit code of amservice is one of:
| |
| * 0 = success
| |
| * 1 = error executing amandad on the client
| |
| | |
| As amservice doesn´t parse the REP packet, it can only detect failure in executing amandad on the client. Amservice can exit with value 0 even if the user is not authorized to execute the service.
