This is what I know...


$VMCHANGE -multi_eject -w -h $VDBHOST -res -verbose -ml `cat <list of
tapes>` -rn 0 -rt TLD -rh $VDBHOST << EOI
N
EOI


The no is the same as saying NO in the gui. Leaves the tapes in the map.

Hi,

I wonder what the "single_cycle" do in your command? I've search in the
man page, without finding anything related to that switch?

Usually when i do multi_eject, i do like (notice the -w, it is a
must!)::
vmchange -res -multi_eject -w -verbose -rn $robotnum -rt robottype -rh
robothost -ml TAPE001:TAPE001

But i do have to press CTRL-C after the "(press <RETURN> to continue)".
If i press return, the tapes are put back into the library instead.

I hear that there is a way to avoid pressing CTRL-C, witch is useful in
a script.  But i can't remember?
