You should also take care of your points assignment problem as well. You can start here:

For example, to move a tape from slot 1 to drive 1 :
# mc -p /dev/robot -sS1 -sD1

Hi,
for a full descritpion refer to "man mc".

For a short descritpion:

mc -p /path_to_robotic_arm "commands"

where commands can be

-r DS : read Drive and Slot situation

-s D1 -d S1 : move from (s)cource Drive 1 to (d)estination Slot 1

/path_to_robotic_arm is something like /dev/rac/c1t3d4, or, if you have older model, /dev/picker


HTH,
Massimo

For some reason my original post did not get added.

As long as you have the robotics set up this can easily be done. See attached document.

List devices with or without tapes in drives.
# mc -p /dev/robot -r D
List slots
# mc -p /dev/robot -r S
List CAP or the door
# mc -p /dev/robot -r I

To move a tape from slot 1 to drive 1 (-s source -d destination)
# mc -p /dev/robot -sS1 -dD1

Michael
