Now I'm working on a script to unmount and lock a drive or drive set. I got the part that tests to see if a file is open done. I used lsof to do that. The exit code is a little backward for what I'm doing but I got it figured out. Once I get that done, I just copy the script and change the variables for other drives or drive sets. Then for my backup drives, I add the part to update the backups and the variables for that. Then I can copy those and change the variables for all my backup scripts. I think I'm turning into a monster. ROFLMBO Dale :-) :-)
