Ontape via Cronjob

We run Informix On-Line Dynamic Server 7.22. We currently run archives via "ontape -s -L 0" *manually* on a daily basis on several servers. I would like to automate this process so that we can just create a script with the command, and run it via cron at night (loading a new tape each day). I have tested a few ways of doing this, but I get stuck at the: Please mount tape 1 on /dev/rmt/1 and press Return to continue ... We have a shell script that does the "ontape -a" that uses a command line of (echo "\\n"; echo "n\\n") | ontape -a to get past the same message, but for some reason this doesn't work with "ontape -s". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please send responses directly to me at mailto:aaron@intraware.com and I will post a summary.
