After I do my amdump in the crontab I was thinking about ejecting the tape.
And since I am not using a changer in the config the only way I have found
so far is to use the mt command.  It seems that in the archives that there
are two different methods used in the following situation:

0 3 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1 && mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl

0 3 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1 && mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl

The difference being how the device is called (nst0 vs. st0). Since I am now
using the magnetic tape command from the system do I still need to reference
the nst0 device which is used in the amdump. What problems or issues would
it cause in either method?  Thanks in advance,
