Hi,

thanks for helping, Hannes. I just had pretty busy days and didnt get
around to respond.

how about

   cat --squeeze-blank disklist | while read ...
   done

?

That being said, I'm contemplating to introduce the concept of
"user-maintained rules" where the maintainers explicitly ask users to
help with certain rules. I haven't used amanda in years, and it is
pretty hard to maintain, debug and keep current complex rules for a
package that we don't use ourselves.

Greetings
Marc
