Well - dunno why. Certainly doesn't work that way for me.

I'd do something like this... for tape in `vmquery -rn 0 -l | awk '$11~/Offsite/ {print $1}` do eject routine (lots of lines) done I actually do something much like this for offsite purposes. My eject_tapes script is 60 lines of code that looks up the library for a tape given the tape number. If the tape is in a drive, though, it just errors . I supposed I could query the library controls for the tape location (see if it's in a drive) but right now I just eat the error when it occurs. -M From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Reynolds, Susan K. Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 3:22 PM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] quick eject script Does anyone have a quick eject script the logic of which goes something like this: 1. Eject any tapes in the OFFSITE volume pool if it is in the tape library 2. Ignore tapes in a drive (vmquery slot number =0) 3. And email the list of tapes to me with a report title and today's date Is there anything quick and easy out there like that? Appreciate your help.
