Hi Leon...

You could create a simple job of type "Admin" with a RunScript that calls a
script (or multiple scripts) to enable/disable the appropriate
magazines/volumes and run the bconsole "update slots" command.

Then, set the Admin job to run before your nightly jobs by starting at the
same time (e.g. use same schedule) but with a higher priority (lower numeric
value is higher priority).

Also, for operations outside of any schedule, you would just need to manually
run the Admin job after a disk (magazine) change before running any other jobs.

I am also looking into Josh's scripts currently due to a similar problem I
have run into. I just have not had the time to get around to it until this
thread came along. :)

Good luck Leon.

P.S. Thanks for sharing Josh.
