Hello,

How to tell amverify to stop if there is no tape in the tape drive?

Every night I have a cron that does amdump then amverify.

If I forgot to put a tape in the drive, the dumps go to the holding
disk and amdump ends nicely.

But amverify will continue running until I insert a tape next morning.

And when I want to flush my holding disk, i find out that amverify is
verifying the tape I just inserted and it messes up everything.

So it would be nice that amverify could be told to abort if there is
no tape in the drive.

Is there a way to do so?

Best regards,

Olivier
