with the mailslot other than being able to empty or fill it.

What I do is plug

AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT

into my vm.conf file.  Whenever I plug a tape into the mailslot, the slot
gets emptied and NetBackup catalogs the media if it hasn't been before. 
Then your media will show up in the library reports.

If you're really motivated, you could use robtest to view the status
of the mailslot.

Take care,

We tried adding that entry to our vm.conf file as well, but it would crash the tldcd daemon. &nbsp;We use a Storage-Tek L700 and AIX, not sure if it is hardware or OS specific, haven't had the opportunity to test it against other libraries and/or OSes.
 
 If you looking to unload the CAP, just use:
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;vmupdate -rt &lt;robot_type&gt; -rn &lt;robot_num&gt; -use_barcode_rules -empty_ie
