connect_tone When an answer is detected and Amanda is not identifying the called party for the cur-
rent mailbox, this option determines whether Amanda plays a beep. (The mailbox’s ID
Call? field is set to NO.)
True or False. The default is True.
When True, Amanda plays the beep.
When False, there is no beep.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set connect_tone true
create_locked Controls whether or not new mailboxes are locked when the mailbox template (usually
mailbox 997) is locked. The administrator (using mailbox 999 and the telephone) can
lock the template (and other mailboxes) using one of the system administration options.
This prevents callers from logging into the mailbox template.
True or False. The default is False.
When True, new mailboxes created from the template are initially locked if the template
is locked.
When False, new mailboxes are not locked. This means that they can be logged into via
the telephone immediately after they are created.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set create_locked false
db_locking Makes Amanda lock each record in a file as it is accessed. No other port or program can
access that record of that file. This is used within the context of using tokens to read and
write to ASCII or dBase files.
The value is 0 or 1. The default is 0.
When 0, Amanda does not perform record locking.
When 1, Amanda attempts to perform record locking which will fail unless
SHARE.EXE, a DOS program (not licensed via The Amanda Company), is running.
This program is usually loaded by the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set db_locking 0
defaults_box Indicates what mailbox to use as a template when creating a new mailbox. The contents
of most fields, all notification records, and all automatic scheduling records are copied
from the template to the new mailbox. The Comment and Directory Name fields are not
copied. The Extension field is copied only if it begins with an @ (which indicates token
programming).
If the Security Code field of the default mailbox is blank, the security codes for new
mailboxes are their mailbox numbers. Otherwise, the security codes for all new mail-
boxes are the same as that of the template mailbox. The Security Code field always ap-
pears blank. You must fill it with spaces if you want it to actually be blank.
Use any valid mailbox. The default is 997.
See also guest_defaults.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set defaults_box 997
diskwarn When Amanda has only the specified percentage of disk space left, she executes Disk
notification record (if there is one) for mailbox 999. The notification record may call
you at home, call your extension, call your pager, and so forth. For example, use 20 to
have Amanda notify you when the remaining disk space falls below 20.
Number (for a percentage). The range is from 1 to 99. The default is 20.
See also tmo_disk.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set diskwarn 20
