automatic ontape level 0?

Hi all, just a quick one. We are using 7.23. at the moment, upgrading to 7.30 next week. The IDS is running on Data Generals DGUX. Is there a way of running "ontape -s -L 0" in a cron? My only theoretical hurdle at present is the "mount tape in ...blah blah" prompt which you need to press enter at to start the backup. Is there another switch for ontape that lets you force it through? Any help appreciated TIA Loz
