All,
Can anyone tell me how we can eject a cd-rom automatically or using any specific commands, from a AIX 5.1 host ( p640 m/c )
Info on cd-rom drive : 16 Bit SCSI Multimedia CD-ROM Drive

David,

Simple answer: you need 5.2 and the commands to open and close the cdrom drive are, cdeject and cdutil -l respectively.

David,

I am afraid not. I looked into this myself a couple of years
ago.
