There was some good information at the IIUG site (http://www.iiug.org) about ontape and how to run it in the background from cron. Either in the FAQ or in some library. I can however not find it any more. Here is the command we use: echo '\\n' | /usr/info71on/bin/ontape -s -L 0 | head -100 There is something essential about the head -100 part to avoide some serious problems if there is something wrong with the tape.
