FYI I've added the following custom template to the backup system to automatically eject the DAT tape after the backup has occured. It has been tested on SME 5.12 & 5.50 with an DAT drive and a new Sony SDT-10000 Now afte rmy backup has completed the tape is ejected automatically and I can get 'unskilled users' to remove the tape and replace with anotehr tape.
In /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/sbin/e-smith/backup create a new template ( I copied /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/sbin/e-smith/backup/90rewind-tape and edited it by changing the rewind to offline near the end of the file ) 95eject-tape { use esmith::db; local %services; $services{'backup'} = $backup; $OUT = ''; my $status = db_get_prop(\%services, 'backup', 'status'); if (defined $status && $status eq 'enabled') { my $device = db_get_prop(\%services, 'backup', 'Device') || "/dev/nst0"; $OUT .= "\n"; $OUT .= "/bin/mt -f \"$device\" offline"; } } Rod -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
