Dave, I have written a script that, I think, does what you want. When backup starts, and thus butc awakens from its sleep, it calls the call-out routine for each and every tape mount/unmount. Initial mount-unmount-mount overflowtape-unmount etc Perhaps that you have the options in the CFG file different? Do you use the buct -noautoquery ??? (I don't) The CFG file is MOUNT /usr/afs/backup/Artc6 ASK YES UNMOUNT /usr/afs/backup/Artc6 AUTOQUERY YES NAME_CHECK YES BUFFERSIZE 32 FILE NO So there are 3 places where one controls butc "interactions with the Operator" Perhaps that one need to see the callout routine as an "automated" operator.
