Is your intention to pull these tapes to make room for new ones?

I'd suggest FULL, FROZEN, or SUSPENDED.  All conditions where no more data
will be appended to the tape.

I have a unix shell script that does this if you want.

   So this is very cool, but can I do something similar (like piping "s
s" to robtest in order to show a tape library's contents) on the
_Master_ Server with tldtest?
   Is there in fact some comletely other command I can use to show the
contents of my various Media Servers' tape libraries from the Master
Server's command line? I find the NBU commands so steep and ugly that I
tend to get lost among bpemdialist and bpcllist...
   I'm trying to write a script to show me tapes that are both FULL and
in a tape library. It would be nice if the script ran on the Master
Server instead of on the multiple Media Servers just to keep down the
number of diffent reports I read (and scripts to keep in sync).
   Thanks in advance.
