For 6 and up, you can add -single_cycle and it spits out some extra information, but doesn't require interaction. Use that term in a search and you can see a few old threads about it. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I am currently using this one-liner to eject all tapes from a list. It works in that I can build a tape list and save me the headache of entering tape # by tape #, but I still have the aggravation of having to interact with the command as it prompts me to confirm every eject with a keystroke. Does anyone know a way to bypass this so I don't have to sit in front of the terminal hitting the enter key all day? for line in $(cat ./1); do vmchange -res -multi_eject -w -verbose -rn 1 -rt tld -rh backup1 -vh backup1 -ml $line; done +-- |This was sent by joshua.n.ful...@lmco.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
