One of our DBA's is trying to export a large database directly to tape, and is having trouble doing it automatically from a shell script (for eventual use in a cron job). He gets the following prompt and must manually press return to get it to continue. Does anyone know what this prompt means, how to turn it off, or a better way to export directly to tape?
