We are running a tar command in cron to do backups. I just overwrote a tape because it didn't eject after the tar was complete. Looking at man pages tar doesn't have an eject media option. Could I use /usr/bin/mt /rmto: eject?

or something like that? Just curious and want to save me from my lameness of forgetting to rotate the tape...

Thanks in advance for any help on this one.
