How to eject & close cdrom with command not manually by pressing button


Hi,
I am using openSUSE 10.3 .Some small utilities like tooler are available in windows which allow you to eject or close a particular cdrom drive through double click without need to press hardware button.Are there any coomands or application in linux to do the same.

man eject.

eject will eject the drive. eject -t will close it.
eject -T will toggle the drive.(open it if closed and close if it is already open).
