Hello Marco, It might be possible to modify and add such a key feature to my `mtx-changer-python.py` drop-in replacement script: https://github.com/waa/mtx-changer-python ...which includes the ability to: - intercept the unload process - check if the drive wants to be cleaned - actual ly load a cleaning tape - wait - then unload it - and then return control to the SD Maybe during the load function we can add a call to a new function (yet to be written) which could verify that the keys are loaded? Let me know what you think. Sounds like an interesting project. :) Best regards, Bill -- Bill Arlofski wa...@pr... |
