Can Amanda be configured to automatically eject the tape from the tape
drive when a dump to tape is finished?
Or should I write a perl or shell script to automate the both the dump and
eject tape process?
I do it via crontab:
... nice /path/amdump

When I had only one tape drive, I ran a script which contained

Well, there's not much to it, in amanda's crontab entry, just do something
like:
55 23 * * 0 amdump
Now I have two drives configured as chg-multi, but
sometimes backups only require one tape. amtape doesn't
know how many tapes were used. ...
I also use a script around amdump (et al) and just run that from cron.
