DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  ssttkk__eejjeecctt command allows you to eject one to 42 tapes
       at a time from a StorageTek  silo.   By  dealing  directly
       with  ACSLS  (through  ssi  on the NetWorker system), this
       utility avoids the internal architectural differences that
       limit nsrjb to ejecting one tape per command.

       All  parameters  are required, and the list of volsers can
       be from 1 to 42 elements long.  Volsers beyond  the  limit
       of 42 will be ignored.

       aaccssllss__hhoossttnnaammee - 1 word host ID of system running ACSLS or
                        Library Station - e.g.  eexxppoo11

       ccaapp__iidd - STK cap name, no internal spaces - e.g.  00,,00,,00

       mmooddee - should this command wait until the eject is com-
              pleted?
                   values are WWAAIITT or NNOOWWAAIITT for _Q_U_I_E_T mode
                                   - or -
                   WWAAIITTVV or NNOOWWAAIITTVV for _V_E_R_B_O_S_E mode

       vvoollsseerr - 6 character STK volser list - not checked for
                size or form - only first 6 characters are used.
                Volsers should be separated by a single space
                character.

                *** You may eject up to 42 VOLSERS per command
                ***


       NOTE: in NNOOWWAAIITT or NNOOWWAAIITTVV mode, there is no confirmation
             of ejection on this system.

       If you require confirmation, you should use the WWAAIITT or
       WWAAIITTVV modes.  This program will then receive confirmation
       from AACCSSLLSS,, but it will not return to the caller until all
       ejected tapes have been removed from the CAP.

       You will nnoott receive any messages regarding emptying the
       CAP when it fills, or when the eject is done - you mmuusstt
       use the ACSLS console to see what the CAP status is.

       This utility uses ssssii to communicate with AACCSSLLSS,, so ssssii
       must be properly configured and running on the system
       where this command is used.  Note that this utility does
       not depend on any other NetWorker files, so it can be run
       on any system that is running ssi which can communicate
