You could use mtlib and write a script fragment like:

                  while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do
                    MTFULL=`mtlib -l $MTLIB -qL|grep full`
                    if [ -z "$MTFULL" ]; then break; fi
                    echo `date +"%D %T"`" <Eject_tape - All output stations
full>"
                    echo `date +"%D %T"`" <Eject_tape - All output stations
full>" >> /adsm_logs/tapeeject.log
                    sleep 120
                  done

And when it detects the output stations are full, have it e-mail unstead of
just displaying a message.

You may be able to do this with an SNMP trap from the 3494 to an SNMP
monitor
station.  The 3494 will send interventions to SNMP traphosts, and you can
do whatever you want with them.. email, page, etc.
