How do I query amanda for the next tape?

I run my backups on my home server; at times I am away from home so I can't feed the tapes in daily.

I would like to be emailed a reminder telling me which tape is next. Right now amanda tells me which tape it expects when it completes a successful backup; I want to query it so it tells me on demand....

On demand:

  amadmin config tape

or for the next five runs:

  amadmin config tape -days 5           

Also amcheck verifies if the tape inserted is ok, and sends mail with
the label of the tape it expects.
