This is probably just a generic Unix question, but here goes.
My root cron file contains this:
30 1 * * 2,3,4,5,6 /usr/users/jmorrow/autoBackup
/usr/users/jmorrow/autoBackup contains this:
tar -c /opt /osf_boot /sbin /subsys /sys /Mail /bin /usr /dev /var \
/etc /vmunix /genvmunix /vol /home /vygotsky_a \
/vygotsky_b /lib /vygotsky_c /mail /vygotsky_d \
/vygotsky_e /vygotsky_f /vygotsky_g /vygotsky_h /vygotsky_i |& mail \
jmorrow_at_alum.mit.edu ; mt offline
This causes the tar backup to happen just fine (I confirmed that the tape
contains all of my data), and the mail gets sent just fine. However, the
tape doesn't get ejected!
Running autoBackup from a command line DOES spit the tape out.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.
