ShowNextTapeNeeded

I have been having major issues with having to find time to log onto the server and find out what tapes to put in. We disabled the email from amcheck due to so many emails coming from several servers every day.

So, I wrote a quick script that (I'm surprised is still easy to configure) will go through the tapelist for all backup "programs" you have, output the tapes that will be needed on that day, and then (optionally) eject those tapes so you can put in the next tapes, and then (optionally) output the info to the screen, a printer, or an email.

I figured I'd share it. Feel free to use, edit, and do whatever with! hope it helps somebody! (I fire this at noon each day, so that backups that ran the previous night are ejected from our 2 tape drives and I can quickly swap out what tapes it tells me it will need that night.) Oh, and the "program" names are the names of the configurations of our backups. (Most will use Daily and Weekly, i don't like capitals....)

This should be able to be extended for larger tape-changers to get a list of tapes that are in the slots and compare to the tapes that are needed, ejecting only the slots that are not needed.
