Yes, in a way ... but we have been that far already, thanks ;-) We want a script (->cronjob) notifying when only X reusable tapes for the next N runs of amdump are left in the library. No human reading of emails and comparing stuff :-) My customer already has done a draft, I get his script next week when he is back from vacation. I wrote something similar back then but when I look at my script I (a) wonder what it exactly does and (b) if I ever finished it. And we wondered if that kind of question might be answered by amanda itself in a way (which obviously is not the case right now). thanks, regards, Stefan
