[...] I don't think Bacula has the concept of "idleness" but I think you could explore a possibility to run some command that would eject the tape after a specified job using that job's "after job" script. Another route would be to script such action by external means, say, call something like #!/bin/sh echo 'umount storage=MyTape' | bconsole mtx-changer some-command-to-eject-the-device-here from a cron job. But it implies the cron job should only run when Bacula is guaranteed not to access the device in question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
