The best way I have found to do this so far is to pipe the answers in.
It's an ugly hack, but at least the operation completes as a success in
the jobsdb this way.


                 if (open(DEPOSIT, "echo \"Yes\\nn\"|/usr/sbin/nsrjb -s
$SERVER -j $JBNAME -vd 2>&1|")) {
                        while(<DEPOSIT>) {
                                chomp;
                                s/setting verbosity level to `1'//;
                                s/Load the cartridges into the ports,
and enter Yes to continue.//;
                                s/Operation `read elements status' is in
progress on jukebox `.+'.//;
                                s/Continue depositing volumes\?

                                s/I\/O error or End of File encountered.

                                s/Depositing/Deposited/;
                                s/ within \d+ seconds//;
                                s/nsrjb: Info: //;
                                print "* $_\n";
                        }
                        close DEPOSIT;
                        }

Subject: [Networker] Deposit volumes error

Hello, I use 7.3.2 and when I deposit volumes, I get:

# nsrjb -d -Y
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 1 to slot 76.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 2 to slot 79.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 3 to slot 82.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 4 to slot 97.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 5 to slot 104.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 6 to slot 108.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 7 to slot 179.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 8 to slot 187.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 9 to slot 188.
nsrjb: Info: Moving media from port 10 to slot 201.
nsrjb: Info: Depositing 10 cartridges.
nsrjb: Error: User failed to deposit any cartridge within 15 seconds.
nsrjb: error, Jukebox command terminated with errors.

now, why is there an error.  He did everything perfect, but there is an
error.  If I remove the -Y, then it is interactive, and that is not what
I want.

I assume he waits 15 seconds to see if there are some new tapes inserted
in the mean time, but 15 seconds is very short to insert 20 tapes, so I
assume you can change the timeout, but how?
