Of course you can.

Yes, it is Linux specific and tested on Debian.
But I've just found the right hardware to use it:

:-)
Right know I need to change 3 screws every 8 days, so it could be
quicker with this rack... :-)

That is quite interesting, but far enough from my script above, that is
only used as a virtual tape management tool. Of course, with a SWIG
interface, I could easily peek into AMANDA config file without having to
write am AMANDA config parser or worse, hard-coding them in the bash
script (what is just done now :-) ). So I'm going to follow your SWIG action...
PS: I switched from Perl to Python few years ago after years of Perl
programming and teaching, when I discovered I was no longer able to read
code I had writtem before. :-)
