DESCRIPTION

Jctrl is a system manager’s utility for the Jaquith system.  It provides offline control over the physical jukebox. 
 

Jctrl attempts to keep track of any volumes that are moved so that Jaquith’s view of the world matches reality.  Therefore the user is prompted with tedious questions throughout. 
 

Jctrl is not network-aware since it is not for use by clients. It assumes that it has direct access to the jukebox; Results are indeterminate if jmgr is running. 
 

BUGS

None known.
