RE: "strange output"

[donald . ritchey]

I ran into this problem with Tru64 UNIX and the vdump command used by Amanda on that platform.  I added a line to the "re_table" structure in client-src/sendbackup-dump.c to match the output of that command that was not being matched by the existing entries.  I am not aware of any ability to add lines to the re_table structure other than by recompiling, so that may be your only hope.    A line like:   AM_NORMAL_RE("^ *SUDO:"),   added to the file should do the trick.  Of course, this will permit any line containing SUDO to pass through as normal.   Don   Donald L.

Mordkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "strange output" I have added a wrapper to /sbin/dump to lock and unlock my vobs. The output from my script (which I send to stderr) is flagged by Amanda as "strange output", for example...   FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:   /-- lux2       sda5 lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [lux2:sda5 level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? SUDO: /vobs/admin ? SUDO: Locked versioned object base "/vobs/admin". ? SUDO: /vobs/client ? SUDO: Locked versioned object base "/vobs/client"   Is there a way to tell Amanda that these lines are expected? Even better would be to tell her that they are required, but I know that's a bit much to ask, as it would have to be on a per filesystem basis.   I plan to update my script to look like this in an attempt to fool Amanda into thinking its legit output:   sudo -u ccadmin ~ccadmin/lockvobs 2>&1 | perl -n -e 'print "DUMP: $_";' >&2   so that every line will start with "DUMP: "   but this feels like a hack.   Any comments?   JLM   P.S.
