My tape libraries do cleaning themselves, so I turn off auto-cleaning in 
NetWorker, and just let the hardware handle it. We set the number of 
reserved slots on the libraries console, and then it reports the number of 
available slots to NW. I load up cleaning tapes in the slots, and then 
forget it. :-)

It does mean that I need to check the library menus to find out how often 
a cleaning tape is used, so I know when to change it.
