Aye, its that simple. You may need to fiddle with the permissions the script runs at though. -Original Message- From: daRcmaTTeR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 July 2002 16:07 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [expert] ejecting the tape On Thu, 11 Jul 2002, Scott, Rob wrote: > > > eject /dev/st0 naaah...come on! can it really be _that_ simple?

Re: [expert] ejecting the tape
Isn't it just 'eject /dev/st0'? On Thu, 2002-07-11 at 13:54, daRcmaTTeR wrote: I don't know how to tell /dev/st0 to spit out the tape when everything is finished. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

eject /dev/st0 -Original Message- From: daRcmaTTeR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 July 2002 13:54 To: Expert List Subject: [expert] ejecting the tape Hi list, last week there was some discussion on the list here about tar and tape drives and how things work. I was wondering though how can I tell the device to eject the tape after it's done backing up and cataloging the contents. I've written a small script that handles all that, but I don't know how to tell /dev/st0 to spit out the tape when everything is finished. any ideas? -- daRmaTTeR R L U: #186492 When ever people annoy me I remember, "Vengence is mine saith the Lord."
