Mark,
I am just copying the first few lines below - 

# Run via cron on a server that can see all drives. Rec'd every 15 min.

PATH=$PATH:/usr/openv/volmgr/bin
PROGNAME=`basename $0`
ADDR="spillapalem AT entertainment DOT com"

DDIR=/var/tmp
DBASE=${PROGNAME}_datafile
DFILE=$DDIR/$DBASE.`date +%m_%d_%Y`
OUTF=$DDIR/$PROGNAME.out

if [ ! -f $DFILE -o -n "$1" ]
then


In the above "if" statement- it is looking for $1 -- ( To my understanding it 
is looking for some parameter right )

Thanks for your time
Smitha

Nope - it should pretty much look up everything.  Just change the email 
address.  I have a modified version of this that ignores my one hcart drive and 
only reports hcart2.  My hcart drive is for legacy tape reads only and I don't 
want it throwing off the drive availability number.  I just modify the awk 
statement that is fed by "vmoprcmd -xd ds".

Hi all,

I found my old drive utilization script and updated it.  It's been tested on 
6.0.4 and it works there.  Change the email address in it to your email 
address, add it to cron (on a maybe 15 min interval or so) on a media server 
that can see all the tape drives.  It samples every 15 minutes, and will mail a 
report new report to you at the rolling of the day.

Output looks like this (snipped from 15:00).  Ignore all the down drives, we 
were performing library maintenance:

Yeah - that was my script but it was broken by the new spammy behavior of the 
vmoprcmd output.  I haven't updated it yet.

I think it's been a year or two but somebody did post a script to this list
to do this.  I run Aptare's StorageConsole and this is one of the canned
reports so I didn't keep the script.
