I am trying to get AMANDA 2.3.0 to work with our tape jukebox. To be
able to control the jukebox, AMANDA needs a "glue" program or script
to be the interface between it and the jukebox. One way to do this is
via a script that uses chio(1) (which seems to work fine with the
jukebox). The other is a program that actually sends the SCSI
commands. Nothing like that comes with AMANDA 2.3.0, and I have not
found such a thing looking at the maillist archive or websearch. I
would guess someone out there is doing this and has these things?
Would it be possible to pass the information along?

AMANDA 2.4.1, which is also in the ports, seems to come with a SCSI
glue program. However, the port claims to be dependent on gnuplot
which in turn claims to need X11. I do not have X11 on this system and
was not planning on putting it on. Does AMANDA 2.4.1 _really_ need
X11? Would the glue programs that come with it work for 2.3.0?

Thanks.
