This is my autochg.sh script under gentoo stable

#!/bin/sh
sgdev=$(sg_map26 $1)

if [ -z "${sgdev}" ]; then
        echo "TapeAlert: no sgdev for $1"
        exit 0
fi

The command "sg_map26" come from the sg3_utils
package that should be available under CentOS6
and make a good job for me converting the tape
device into the sg device.

Then, in the bacula-sd.conf stanza of your tape
or changer, you may use something like this

Alert Command = "sh -c '/etc/bacula/autochg.sh /dev/nlto0 | grep TapeAlert|cat'"

Seems to work correctly for me.

Hope it helps, G. Vitillaro
