This is a misunderstanding or maybe I didn't tell you. I did what you suggested. Here it is without tape in drive: Product Type: Tape Drive Vendor ID: 'SEAGATE ' Product ID: 'DAT DAT72-052' Revision: 'A060' Attached Changer: No SerialNumber: xxxx # you don't need to know this. MinBlock:1 MaxBlock:16777215 SCSI ID: 0 SCSI LUN: 0 Ready: no Here it is with tape in drive: Vendor ID: 'SEAGATE ' Product ID: 'DAT DAT72-052' Revision: 'A060' Attached Changer: No SerialNumber: xxxx SCSI ID: 0 SCSI LUN: 0 Ready: yes BufferedMode: yes Medium Type: 0x35 Density Code: 0x47 BlockSize: 0 DataCompEnabled: no DataCompCapable: yes DataDeCompEnabled: yes CompType: 0x20 DeCompType: 0x20 BOP: yes Block Position: 0 So no 'TapeAlert' line present at the moment, but the drive is capable of TapeAlert, as I read TapeAlert: -stuff- need cleaning -stuff- a few days ago. So it is possible to have no 'TapeAlert' in tapeinfo output. I was just wondering that nobody else had similar problems. To solve this I wrote a script that executes the command, gives the desired output and exits with 0 if grep exits with 0 or 1 and it exits with 1 if grep exits with 2. Actually my Subject line is not precise. Your sincerely, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
