I'm using chg-manual, after commenting out the function request() and
un-commenting the alternate version that sends email to root once an hour.
I also changed the sleep command from 60 to 300 sec, since it takes a long
time for my DLT8000 to load a tape (back and forth, trying to sense
20/35/40Gb and compression states).
I also added a few lines, so it wouldn't send root email every hour all
weekend:
timeout=`expr 60 \* 60`
DayOfWeek=`date +%a`
if [ $DayOfWeek -eq Sat ] || [ $DayOfWeek -eq Sun ]; then
timeout=`expr 24 \* 60 \* 60`
fi
This didn't seem to work, though...
Friday's email report said amanda wanted Daily10 and Daily11. I put in
Daily10 before I left, and `amcheck Daily` said "exact label match". Ok so
far.
When I came in this morning, I put in Daily11. But chg-manual keeps sending
me mail saying "insert Amanda tape into slot 115 (/dev/nst0)" with
increasing slot numbers. I tried Daily12 and Daily10 again.

Is there any way I can figure out which DailyNN tape amanda wants?
/usr/adm/amanda/changer-status-* just tells me which slot, not which tape,
I'm on.
Thanks,
Bart
