While most folks don't use it anymore, there is already an 'rmt' command[0]: Rmt is a program used by the remote dump(8), restore(8) or tar(1)
programs in manipulating a magnetic tape drive through an
interprocess communication connection. Rmt is normally started up
with an rexec(3) or rcmd(3) call.
The rmt program accepts requests specific to the manipulation of
magnetic tapes, performs the commands, then responds with a
status indication. All responses are in ASCII and in one of the
following two forms.
Depending on the platform, this could cause a name collision with unexpected results.Not telling you what to do, just that you should be aware. [0] https://linux.die.net/man/8/rmt |
