One way to do this is via a script that uses chio(1) I found 2.3 to be very difficult and ended up writing my own glue to call chio.

I upgraded to 2.4.x a long while back and their chg-chio works well, after one small fix: *** chg-chio~ Sun Apr 30 12:24:18 2000 --- chg-chio Thu May 11 14:33:53 2000 *************** *** 347,353 **** $currentTape = 1; } ! print STDERR "$currentTape $max_slot 1\n"; print "$currentTape $max_slot 1\n"; exit 0; } --- 347,353 ---- $currentTape = 1; } ! #BLOWS UP AMANDA: print STDERR "$currentTape $max_slot 1\n"; print "$currentTape $max_slot 1\n"; exit 0; } The output to STDERR gets slurped by one of the amanda processes (amtape?) as text and confuses it. I reported this to the amanda lists aeons ago but this buglet still exists. Works well once you get all the amanda.conf and host:~operator/.amandahosts stuff figured out.
