What happens if the user never does release the drive, but logs out? We started dealing with this issue, and came up with having an inferior shell running under the tape-mount program. When you exit that shell, or the tape-mount program exits, then a daemon takes the drive back. ------------------------------------------------------------ Howie Kaye howie@columbia.edu Columbia University hlkcu@cuvma.bitnet Systems Group ...!rutgers!columbia!howie
