SYNOPSISamservice [−f input_file [−s]] [−−config CONFIG] [−−features FEATURES−STRING] [−−stream NAME,IN,OUT]*
     [
−o configoption...] hostname auth service

DESCRIPTIONAmservice execute an Amanda service on a client​. It can be used without 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​.

OPTIONShostname 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​. −s Redirect the first connected stream to stdin/stdout​. The −f argument is required for the REQ packet, the REP packet is not printed on stdout​. −−config The amanda configuration​. −−features FEATURES−STRING The features of the remote client​. −−stream NAME,IN,OUT The vstream to open, their name and the two file descriptors​. −o configoption See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8)​.

EXAMPLEThe noop service is easy to execute because it does not require a REQ packet: amservice hostname bsdtcp noop < /dev/nullThe example executes the noop service on the client using bsdtcp auth​. This is useful for debugging connection problems​. It print 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 uccessfully run amanda, you can find valid REQ packets in the amandad​.*​.debug files​.

EXIT CODEThe 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 failures in executing amandad on the client​. amservice can exit with value 0 even if the user is not authorized to execute the service​. An error message will be printed​.
