Sorry for the late summary as I was reminded by David Thorburn-Gundlach. :)
Thanks for all who replied.

Answer:

Check out this site.

http://www.hiarc.com/index.html

$450 for 3 commands:
jbinit: to initialize the jukebox
jbstatus: to tell jukebox status/tape locations
movejb: to move tape from magazine to DLT driv

Also, Legato (Solstice Backup) or NetBackup (Solstice Enterprise Backup) both
handle tape stackers/robots.

> Are there Unix commands that can access the tape loader

Answer:

No.

Thanks,

Mark
