I built a stupid little script to compute the time in minutes from 'now' to our designated end-time. It then fires off reclaim stg commands with the calculated duration. Works OK for us.

I would make the switch if they added an "endtime" option as opposed to the "duration" it currently has. Our daily maintenance processes vary greatly in the amount of time they take to complete each day, so duration is completely useless for us. I would prefer the "reclaim stg" command because the process are actually canceled when the "Duration" lapses.

What is the most efficient way to use this command ? How are users using the offsitereclaimlimit and threshold settings ? We are reclaiming tapes, but not nearly as efficiently as before when we would use the reclaim=60 parameter . We are at TSM 5.4.3 running on AIX 5.3 TL8.
