Re: [Bacula-users] Best way to auto mount and umount & eject

[Brian D. <bde...@in...>]

Hi Keith,

I run an admin job before my run, and after.  I have an autoloader, but 
I think you should be able to do the same.  Possibly have the first 
admin job do a
echo 'mount quit' | bconsole

and the last job do a
echo 'unmount quit' |bconsole
mt -f device eject
