How should the sample Alert Command using tapeinfo be configured?

In the Bacula Main Reference 7.4.3 (18 June 2016).pdf", section 18.3
"Device Resource" shows a sample Alert Command:

    Alert Command = "sh -c ’tapeinfo -f %c | grep TapeAlert’"

That was copied and pasted into the Bacula conf but generated:

Alert: -f: 1: -f: ’tapeinfo: not found
3997 Bad alert command: sh -c ’tapeinfo -f /dev/sg5 | grep TapeAlert’:
ERR=Child exited with code 127.

After changing the tapeinfo to /usr/sbin/tapeinfo the error messages
were similar.

After changing the ’ characters to ' characters the error messages were
similar.

The difficulty was worked around by using an external script to simplify
the conf:

     Alert Command = "/usr/local/sbin/tapealert-for-bacula.sh"

How should the sample command be configured?
