Hello All,
    I'm looking for a better way to work tape jobs. Seek input from others..

    The goal is to put the job in the background and receive an email when the 
job is complete.

    Should I be using "nohup" at the start of the command?

    How can I add  mail -s "tape job complete" [email protected] 


Typical job

tar -cvf /dev/nst0 101201_80W2Y_236F.tgz > tape94a &


Thanks,
Stephen
