Re: [Networker] Command line for deleting file & media index entr ies

The purpose is to remove the tapes from the file & media database. My server
also happens to run on Windows 2000 instead of Unix, although I haven't seen
that make too much difference at the Networker command line level.

Oops.  If you don't want nsrmm to prompt for confirmation of destructive
tasks, you'll need a '-y' on there as well..

   for i in `cat tapelist`; do nsrmm -y -d $i ; done
