Easy.
Set the cron line to include a tape eject command after running amdump.
In my configuration, the line looks something like:
30 03 * * * /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amdump default; mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl
Check out the manpage for "mt" most unixes have either this command or
something similar. The ; in a; b means first do a then when finished do b.
Fortunately amdump runs in the foreground so you can make use of this
functionailty.
Hope this helps

Subject: Auto-eject tapes
This is not of great importance, but I would like to see my tapes ejcet
after a Amanda run. I use a simple DAT system /dev/nst0 and it takes
about 20 secs between pushing the button and seeing the tape. In
practice this appears to be just enough to loose my attention and forget
about the thing ;-)
