This command work for me:

vmchange -res -m 000001 -mt dlt2 -rt none -rc1 0 -rc2 0 -e -sec 1 >/dev/null
2>&1

I am on Solaris 8, this netbackup thing is new to me too :-)

If you strings 'vmchange' command you will find a statement explain what
-sec do, it is an unsupported option.

Ping.

List;

I have been reviewing the past posts the the veritas-bu list to locate
details to get my vmchange command to work correctly.  I still cannot get my
script to move multiple tapes to the mailbox without getting the 
        remove 001701 from mailslot of robot 0 now
                (press <RETURN> to continue)
prompt after each tape is moved to the mailbox.

This is the vmchange command I am using in my Perl script:

vmchange -res -m $library_media_id -rt tl8 -mt 8mm -rn /dev/sg/c2t6l0 -rh
boreal -rc1 $library_slot -rc2 - -e -sec 10
        or
vmchange -res -m $library_media_id -rt tl8 -mt 8mm -rn /dev/sg/c2t6l0 -rh
boreal -rc1 $library_slot -rc2 - -e 

I want to move 18 tapes from the library to the mailbox, then open the
mailbox once and unload the tapes.

Running NBU DataCenter 3.4 driving a ADIC Scalar 1000 with a 18 slot
mailbox.

Any help would be appreciated.
