ca_scan Option -firsttapetimeout -spantapetimeout -list -waitForJobStatus -f -help -examples Description Specifies the time in minutes to wait for a usable media to be made available for the scan job. By default this value is 5 minutes. Thus if a usable media is not made available within this time period, the job will timeout and fail. Specifies the time in minutes to wait for a usable span media to be made available for the scan job. By default this value is infinite, i.e. the job will continue to wait and prompt until a usable media is loaded or the user cancels the job. Used to display a list of tapes available for the scan job. The ca_scan command will wait until the job is completed, and then exit with a return code that indicates the success or fail outcome of the job. The polling interval value defines how often ca_scan checks the jobs's status with the Queue services. The default interval is 60 seconds.
