# Get a list of people to whom to mail a request for changing the tape.
# This egregious nightmare parses the output from GNU finger which shows
# which users are logged into consoles (and thus in the office and capable
# of changing tapes).
#
# Certain users (like 'root') aren't real users, and shouldn't be notified.
# Neither should 'zippy', 'elvis', etc. (on the GNU machines) since they're
# just test accounts.

This is an automated report from the backup script running on
`hostname`.

Volume ${TAR_VOLUME} of the backup needs to be put in the tape drive.
Usually whoever prepared the backup leaves labeled tapes on top of the
drive itself.  If there aren't any more, information about where to find
tapes and how to label them are posted on the wall by apple-gunkies
(unhelpfully obscured by a bookshelf).  An online copy (which is probably
more up-to-date) can also be found in ~friedman/etc/fsf/backup.how.

This is an automated report from the backup script running on
`hostname`.

The backup has been continued, so for now no further attention is required.
