Hi,

I am looking for a set of scripts that would let me to fully
utilise the features offered by the DLT TL891/TL892 tape mini
library.

I would imagine that it would use the robot(1) utility delivered with the
library to manipulate the jukebox.

Ideally the scripts would:
        - select the tapes for tonights backup by looking up a prepared
          file of a certain format.
          Select means here - select by bar code on the tape label.
        - check if correct tapes for a this backup are in the magazine.
        - load them into tape unit(s).
        - call backup scripts that do the actual backup.
        - handle errors.
        - keep logs, do notifications and such.
        - handle signals gracefully.
        - be well documented so they can be easily understood and
          modified maintained as needed.

I am sure that somebody who spent all this time writing and debugging
such a set of scripts will be willing to share the fruits of their labor.

Your contributions, pointers, ideas, etc. are welcome.

Regards,

Chris
