bash command for cdrom eject?
 

i know there is usually a bash command to do this
im in gentoo 2004.1
i was just wondering if theres a command for this because im trying to write a script.

believe it or not its eject.

yea i tried that. for some reason it doesnt seem to be working.

go figure...

Make sure the CD is not mounted. If it is, then neither the eject command or the eject button will work until you unmount the CD.

By default it will try to eject the symlink:
/dev/cdrom

If you need to eject another drive use, for example:
eject /dev/hdd

'eject /dev/cdrom' should eject your cdrom. when mounted, it will try to umount first. for rejecting back, use '-t', i.e. 'eject -t /dev/cdrom'
