That seems to be a plausible reason as amanda runs in the background, and
unless watching the system with htop, or gkrellm, no notice that it has
been running is received until the emailed summary arrives.

I don't think it has.

Since I can issue those commands, I am considering writing a monitoring
script that runs as me from a crontab listing, from 5 minutes before
amanda is to start, which samples the process list at minute intervals,
issues that command and tallies it in the env on finding amanda in the
list, then goes away, then say 40 minutes later starts another script to
undo it, doing that sampling at 5 minute intervals and when amanda
disappears for 2 samples in a row, restore the backgroundjobs, nuke the
env var and goes away till tomorrow.

Where there is a will, there generally is a way. But I'll have to relearn
bash as all this stuff has been running, unmolested by me for about 16
years now.
And I'm getting to that age where shorter term memory is a problem, too
easily distracted by the "oh look, a pony syndrome". That and too many
irons in the fire. I went to the garage yesterday to see about packaging
up the electronics to run a new servo drive I'd just built on my bigger
square posted milling machine and found it would be easier and more
neatly done if I bought a box off fleabay big enough to hide it all. So
I came back in and did find a suitable one & bought it. But shipping
will be around 10 days even from US suppliers to whose door I can drive
to in 2 days.
Then the bearings in the 6040's (a midsized gantry style mill) spindle
motor, a 24,000 rpm motor, are about shot at 40 or so hours running time
because it was a BBLB motor with roller skate bearings I can buy a 10
pack of for $4.50 on fleabay, and I've already a quality replacement in
a box ready to be carried to the garage and installed.
Just gotta get off my duff and do it. And theres nobody here to do it
but me.
That will replace a 1 horse water cooled motor with a 3 horse running on
the same cooling water, and its 110 volt wall powered VFD that makes the
lights flicker with a 250volt 3 horse that runs off its own circuit
breaker. Most of the wiring is already done, I'm a CET and can teach
electricians how to do it. And have. One of my pet peeves is following a
so-called electrician around and fixing his mistakes. I have been amazed
at the card carrying journeyman's mistakes I've encountered and fixed
since 1977. The first one was a fire starter in the studio light wiring
of a tv station in Farmington NM that no longer exists. Not even the
building.
I'll tell you about it sometime. My 86 year trip thru life has been an
interesting ride. To me at least.
Take care and stay well folks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
