Interesting coding, "make sure it doesn't exist or this breaks". :)) On your dd line, if you would like to get the tape label into the log I might suggest these untested changes. $DD if=$tape count=1 >> $logfile 2>&1 becomes $DD if=$tape count=1 bs=32k 2>> $logfile | head -1 >> $logfile Though I'd be tempted to also change the "2>> $logfile" into "2> /dev/null". Don't know why I'd want to log dd's block counts. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
