I have written a tape rotation script that uses parts of the available_media
script to get the information I'm looking for. It will also give you a list
of the available tapes (scratch) tapes. It might be a good frame work to
modify for your purposes. If you aren't into scripting...let me know, I may
be interested in some customization.
