Hi.

I'm looking for the command in Unixware 7.1.1 to eject a tape from
/dev/rmt/c0s0.

In Openserver, I would use the tctl command, but is there an equivalent for
UW?


Thanks.

Good point!

tctl is used in AIX!

Is there a Openserver or Unixware equivalent to unload a tape?

Having read a few AIX man pages, I could understand your reluctance
to do something like "man tape", however, on OpenServer, you will generally
find considerable useful information with that command.

Open UNIX 8 / UnixWare

tapecntl -u /dev/rmt/ctape1 (or other device)

OpenServer 5
