Abstract
The IBM TS3500 Command Line Interface (CLI) program can be used to access
the TS3500 library from a CLI. This is in addition to the TS3500’s Web
Specialist.
One of the commands you can issue is:
-viewCleaningCartridges : Views all cleaning cartridges.
I haven't tried it yet and am not sure if it lists the usecount.
Another command is:
-removeExpiredCleaningCartridges
