sysback end of tpae
We are currently using AIX sysback for our backups and I have a script that kicks off the backups daily. We just had the problem with the tape filling up and hanging the script. I want to add a test to my script to listen for the End of Tape error or tape full error. I can't find any information on an End of tape signal. We are using an automatic tape library. Basically I want the following;

if [[ end of tape == True ]]
then
eject tape
load 2nd tape
increment tape counter
fi
Any ideas on how to listen for end of tape?
