Folks,
    Has anyone else already solved this problem that I have just run in to?
I am trying to do unattended backups during the night and want to test the
images on tape.  I have scripts to capture and analyse the result of
a "restore -t", but it all fails when 'restore' can not open /dev/tty.
The 'restore' program does not really need '/dev/tty' for this, but
someone forgot to allow non-interactive operations.

    thank you all,
    Arthur Protin
