And using that, you could even achieve point 1 (check the message, if it
states that a tape is full etc invoke the eject in your script).
I wouldn't know anything to take care of step 3 though. I ended up
creating a small web iface for the users which looked as follows:
1. eject tape (clicking this link Bacula would unmount the tape and an
eject would be launched)
2. <not-clickable> insert the required tape
3. finish operation (this link invoked a mount on the console)
I then set up the messaging to send SMB messages (smbclient -M ) to the
PCs of the people in charge and instructed them to run through the
web-iface, to which I placed a bookmark onto their desktop, when such a
message appears.
Greetings,
Michel
