SysAdmin, the system administration and security software marketed by UniSolutions, provides both a user-level tape allocator program and a resource chargeback module (resource chargeback is optional, tape-allocator included by default). The tape allocator itself is quite simple, it knows about a list of devices and allows the user to request a specific tape drive or any free tape drive. The tape drive can be released either by the user or by the operator (who may use the release program from his shell or from the SysAdmin menu). --Haral Tsitsivas UniSolutions Associates (213) 641-6739 ...!uunet!scgvaxd!ashtate!unisol!haral
