I get this: [root@bolla libexec]# su bin -c "/opt/amanda/sbin/amtape daily slot 3" amtape: could not load slot 0: illegal request
However I can do this: [root@bolla libexec]# ./chg-zd-mtx -slot 1 1 /dev/rmt/0n [root@bolla libexec]# But... I did have to fix this in the script: (chg-zd-mtx): numeric=`echo $whichslot | tr -cd 0-9` to numeric=`echo $whichslot | tr -cd [0-9]` <-- add [ ] But I thought amtape just calls the tape changer script with -slot I wonder if amtape is using 'tr' in the same way and causing a problem. -Jerry __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
