Overview
Amcleanup generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete for some reason (usually because of a tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usually during system boot).
The amcleanupdisk program is run with the same [-r] and [-v] options.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

Examples
This example runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand after a failure.
% amcleanup daily
Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs the Amanda cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating the need to run it by hand.
/usr/local/sbin/amcleanup daily
If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:
amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
