Dear managers,thanks to all of you for your responses, and my golly, I must have received atleast over 100 responses back! Nevertheless, all of them pointed out exactly whatthe problem was;Cron jobs runs Bourne shell; therefore "#!/bin/csh" should be included as the first line to run ...

Thanks to all who replied. The consensus amoung replies was to ensure thatI was using the correct device name (I am), and to bulk erase the tape (I'mnot but will be soon). Some suggested that this is the result of a problemwith the st driver. Seems that SunOS 4.1.x will not allow tapes written ...
