I assume that you will use that to handle a single tape drive and keep the operator from bconsole. > My question is: Exist some command or procedure to check if the drive > is empty or have a new tape? So you want this from the unix shell layer, not from bconsole, right? mt and perhaps tapeinfo are what you can use then. If you need Baculas volume label, btape can be used. A look into the mtx-changer script, function wait_for_drive(), gives you a complete implementation of waiting for a tape loaded in a drive. Not necessarily portable, though.
