Just trying to figure out some script logic. I want the report
to ignore tapes that are in a drive for a particular purpose we have.

Well - dunno why.
Certainly doesn't work that way for me.

If slot=0 then it is in a drive;
I did a vmquery on a tape that was in a drive and that’s what came back

I think your second step is
in error - a tape in a drive doesn't update the vmquery slot number.
I'd do something like this…
for tape in `vmquery -rn 0 -l
| awk '$11~/Offsite/ {print $1}`
do
eject routine (lots of
lines)
done
I actually do something much
like this for offsite purposes. My eject_tapes script is 60 lines of code
that looks up the library for a tape given the tape number. If the tape
is in a drive, though, it just errors . I supposed I could query the
library controls for the tape location (see if it's in a drive) but right now I
just eat the error when it occurs.

Does anyone have a quick
eject script the logic of which goes something like this:
1. Eject
any tapes in the OFFSITE volume pool if it is in the tape library
2. Ignore
tapes in a drive (vmquery slot number =0)
3. And
email the list of tapes to me with a report title and today’s date
Is there anything quick and
easy out there like that?
Appreciate your help.
