here's my crontab entry: 0 1 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/amdump DumpSet1 && /usr/bin/amcleanup DumpSet1 && eject /dev/st0
The '&&' means that the current command won't execute unless the last command exited with return code 0 (without errors) so you don't run amcleanup unless amdump finished properly, and you won't eject the tape either. oh, and in addition, I did NOT use the no-rewind tape device for the eject command, so that the ejected tape is already rewound and ready for re-use again. cheers! stephen.
