Does anyone know of a way to eject a tape from the command line?

I have windows task scheduler running a backup job each evening and would like to schedule an eject for Monday morning when I change the tape. I checked but couldnt find a command line switch on the Win2k backup program to do this.

Does anyone know of a windows command, or a third party freeware app, that will do this?

Thanks in advance.
 
I believe "rsm.exe eject". I have never used it before as we don't use windows backup, but do a google search and you should be able to find some info. Sorry I don't have the exact answer.
