Or use the (just released) TS3500 CLI: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1159&uid=ssg1S4000854
Quote: Abstract The IBM TS3500 Command Line Interface (CLI) program can be used to access the TS3500 library from a CLI. This is in addition to the TS3500’s Web Specialist. One of the commands you can issue is: -viewCleaningCartridges : Views all cleaning cartridges. I haven't tried it yet and am not sure if it lists the usecount. Another command is: -removeExpiredCleaningCartridges 2010/3/19 Remco Post <[email protected]> > On 18 mrt 2010, at 17:05, John D.
