I have been asked to write a script that can be scheduled as a cron job to
restore a test file from a nightly backup. Scripting skills are OK, but I
haven't used EBS networker from CLI (gui only). Any tips/help would be
appreciated.

Wouldn't it be simpler to pick a random saveset on the nights backups
and then attempt to just clone it to another tape?  This should verify
the saveset and that you've got a good backup.

Possibly, but that's not what Rod was asking about, so I didn't think to
also suggest that.  You make a good point, though.
