I guess the one thing, though, that bothers me about the '-R' option is
that it seems silly to pull a tape in and then find out that it's not
eligible for recycling and then eject it and continue on when you could
simply avoid it to begin with by obtaining a list of all the tapes that
eligible ahead of time. Maybe a database query could quickly retrieve
that info, and an nsrjb command could be run to determine which of those
tapes is currently in the library and then you could re-label only
those, so the '-R' option is kind of moot at that point, but it could be
used as an additional precaution just in case, for some reason, a
non-eligible tape was accidentally loaded.
