Forcing DDS autoloader to select a slot from HP/UX shell

[ITeam]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know of a way to force SureStore 24x6 to select a particular slot from within HP/UX? We will not be having Omniback or other packages - only unix shell. (HP/UX 10.20)
I recall some time back that someone posted details of a command or little c-program that would do this for you. (Customer wants to select a different tape slot for each day of the week ... Lazy/risky customer!).
Many thanks

I don't know much about backup h/w but you could find it best to ask at the storage forum:
