Excellent script, but I've found that when run without a tape in the I/O slot the job will remain running until manually cancelled. 

I found that adding a schedule script to the findslot.bat BEMCMD command allows setting the job to auto-cancel after a defined period.

I've updated findslot.bat as follows:

 

 

bemcmd.exe -a"TS3100" -o80 -S%slot% -fsched.txt
EXIT
)
 
:END
 
And created sched.txt as below in the BEX program folder:
 
[Schedule]
RUN_IMMEDIATE=1
AUTO_CANCEL_TIME=60MINUTES
