NAMEamanda-interactivity − Configuring Interactivity with Amanda Amanda

DESCRIPTIONAmanda uses interactivity to ask user to load specific volumes when they are needed​. This manual page describes the interactivity modules included with Amanda​. This is a user−level description of the API, and does not address details that are only of concern to developers of new interactivity plugins​. For that purpose, consult the Amanda source code, perldoc 'Amanda::Interactivity' and http://wiki​.zmanda​.com​.

DEFINING INTERACTIVITYInteractivity is specified in amanda.conf(5) as follows: define interactivity $interactivity_name { comment "$comment" plugin "$pluginname" property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE" ​.​.​. }and then referenced in the global section as interactivity "$interactivity_name"Interactivity properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are insensitive to case, and − (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used interchangeably​. See the individual plugin sections, below for properties applicable to each plugin​.

INTERACTIVITY MODULESAmanda provides three interactivity modules, tty, email and tty_email​.

TTYThe tty interactivity module uses the tty to communicate with the user, it works only if a terminal is available, which is the case if amanda is executed from a command line​. When promted for a volume, the user must put the requested volume in the changer and type <enter>​. User can type the name of another changer if the volume is available in that changer​. Typing 'abort' will abort the operation​.

EMAILThe email interactivity module uses email to send requests to the user, and reads replies from the filesystem​. The email module has many properties: check−file If set, amanda will check this file for user input​. The user can touch the file to tell amanda that the requested volume was inserted in the changer​. If the user writes the name of a changer into the file, Amanda will use that changer​. If the user writes the word 'abort' into the file, the scan will be aborted​. check−file−delay Default: 10​. This integer property indicates the time in seconds between each check of the check−file​. mailto Default: global value of mailto​. The email addresses to which the email should be sent​. If multiple addresses are given, they should be separated by spaces​. resend−delay Default 0​. The time in seconds between emails​. Amanda will resend the same email at this frequency, which can be useful if mailto is a pager or phone​. If set to 0, only one email is sent​.

TTY_EMAILThe tty_email interactivity module uses the tty module if a terminal is available and uses the email module otherwise​. Its properties are a combination of properties from each module​.

EXAMPLE define interactivity "by−tty−or−email" { comment "Send email on runs from cron; use terminal on command line" plugin "tty_email" property "mailto" "admin1" "admin2" "me@home" property "resend−delay" "1800" #every 30 minutes property "check−file" "/tmp/email_input" property "check−file−delay" "10" #every 10 seconds }
