If the library is hooked up to ethernet, you could lynx in and pull the
cleaning info from there.

Is there a way to tell from AIX the number of cleaning cycles remaining in
a 3584?

We ended up using TSM-managed, ASNEEDED cleaning, so that it could monitor
our tapes.

The web interface shows that there are 10 tapes, each with 50 cycles
available - total=500.

BTW, in the three years we've had our 3584 I don't think our four drives
have needed to be cleaned more than five times each...
