Package: mt-st
Version: 0.7-2
Severity: important
File: /bin/mt-st
`mt-st status` returns text like this:
---snippet----------------------------------------
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x47 (TR-5).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
---end snippet------------------------------------
and the errorlevel is 0 regardless of the actual tape drive status. If
you want a shell script to check the status of the tape, it has do do a
grep on the output, which is errorprone, especially if the author of
mt-st would change the returned text in a future version. The use of an
errorlevel (e.g. 0 if tape is online, 1 if offline etc.) would solve
this.
