From the FAQ: 8.4 How can I run tbtape from a cron job? echo '\\n0' | tbtape -s 1 | head -100 The head cuts things off when tbtape gets into the infinite "insert a tape and press any key to continue" thing. I have found that normal output is well less than 100 lines. This trick also seems to kill off the loose tbtape process too - but I'm not sure why. Of course, YMMV. --------------------------------------,------------------------------------- Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ Quanta Systems, Auckland, New Zealand | kcbbs.gen.nz:/informix/* | mathcs.emory.edu:/pub/informix/faq/* +64 9 377-4473 (work) 266-6011 (home) | http://www.garpac.com/informix.html
