Summary	0000980: release command not allowed in runscript makes admin job "ReleaseAllTapeDrives.conf" unusable
Description	In Chapter "19.14 Tape Drive Cleaning" in Bareos documentation an admin job "ReleaseAllTapeDrives.conf" is given to release tapes if the tape libraries auto-cleaning won’t work when there are tapes in the drives. But this job fails with error: "Can't use release command in a runscript : release: is an invalid command." It seems that at some point running release was forbidden, but this makes the example in Chapter "19.14 Tape Drive Cleaning" useless. Please update the documentation with how to achieve tape release with currently allowed commands (or allow release command in a runscript again).
Steps To Reproduce	Implement admin job "ReleaseAllTapeDrives.conf" as described in Bareos documentation Chapter "19.14 Tape Drive Cleaning"
Tags	No tags attached.

Int 2019-12-13 13:38 reporter ~0003667	one and a half years are over since this bug was reported and assigned - will this be fixed or not ? Some feedback would be nice.
