In regard to: Re: [Networker] Determine if a media drive is in use, Rebecca...:

Hmmm.  I'll have to look at that.  What I'm doing is just using mminfo to
check tapes eligible to be recycled then passing that info to nsrjb to get
all information I need to label the tape.

The nsrjb step may be completely unneeded.

Alter your mminfo query to generate a list of volume names that are
eligible for recycling (and present in your jukebox(es)).  Save that to
a file.

Loop over the volume names from the file, and use nsrjb to recycle the
volumes by name (note the -R option to nsrjb).  You don't need to know
what slots they're in, you just give it a volume name and nsrjb figures
it out.

As Fazil said, there's generally no need to tell nsrjb what drive to use
for the recycling either -- it will pick one.

Does that accomplish your ultimate goal?
