Amanda::Changer::compat -- run ``old'' changer scripts
This package, calls through to old Changer API shell scripts using the new API.
If necessary, this writes temporary configurations under $AMANDA_TMPDIR and
invokes the changer there, allowing multiple distinct changers to run within
the same Amanda process.
In-process reservations are handled correctly - only one device may be used at a time. However, the underlying scripts do not support reservations, so another application can easily run the script and change the current device. Caveat emptor.
Concurrent _run_tpchanger invocations are currently forbidden with a die() --
that should change to a simple FIFO queue of tpchanger invocations to make.
Clean out old changer temporary directories on object destruction.
