Actually the eject sleep is only a timer on the amount of time after
NetWorker tells a drive to eject before it goes to use the ejected tape.

The closest thing to what you're after Shawn is the "idle device
timeout", which tells NetWorker to unmount/eject volumes after they've
been idle for the nominated number of minutes - however this is only
applicable in SmartMedia and dynamic drive sharing environments (may
also be applicable in AlphaStor - not sure).

Cheers,
