How odd. The files in /proc are not 'normal' files so it shouldn't be
prompting for anything. The 'engage scsi' is treated as a command to it,
not something to be literally written to it.

You could 'cd' to /proc and work your way down to cciss to ensure that
cciss0 exists. If for example you have cciss1 instead then try echoing
to that instead. Then run 'mt status' to see what happens.

We put the echo command in to our /etc/rc.local file, which is run at
system boot time. That way the system always sees the tape deck after
rebooting.
