amanda changer

2003-01-06 Thread Mark . Pace
I'm working on using amanda with a 3494 ATL.
I have written a socket program for linux to request a tape be mounted
(either scratch or a specific VOLSER).
I have a socket program listening in CMS to receive the mount requests, and
then issue DFSMSRM commands to mount the correct tape.  It then replies
back to the linux socket program - that the tape was mounted or not.

Now I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to create an amanda
changer script to in use in this environment.  Does anyone have an example
of a changer script/widget that requests volumes and not slots?  Or anyone
have
any hints that may get me over the hump?
