I write the following shell script to find out what Volume is in the 
tape drive.  It assumes you have an autochanger and are using 
mtx-changer.  It's just a starting point and I'll incorporate it into 
the main RunAfter script later.

-----------------
#!/bin/sh

SLOT=`/usr/local/sbin/mtx-changer /dev/pass10 loaded 0 /dev/sa1 0`

LINE=`/usr/local/sbin/mtx-changer /dev/pass10 list | grep ^${SLOT}`

VOLUME=`echo $LINE | awk 'BEGIN { FS = ":" } ; {print $2}'`

echo $VOLUME
-----------------

Why was this needed?

When you run a CopyJob, the %v volume is the source volume, not the 
destination volume.  In my case, I am copying to tape and I want to know 
the volume I'm writing to so that statistics can be kept.

FYI: I started to write a patch for adding %V to the Run Script 
paramters, but I ran into a block.
