Hi,

I've been trying to eject a cd from my unix box. The eject command doesn't work, it doesn't even display a MAN page when I type man eject. I've tried unmounting in vold, but the vold directory doesn't exist. I tried cdrecord but can't confirm what my device number is. Please advise.

Thanks.
 

SCO 5.0.7 and 6.0.0

cddev=`cdrecord -scanbus | grep CD-ROM | awk '{print $1}'`
cdrecord dev=$cddev -eject 2> /dev/null 1>&2

Non-writable drives will produce a warning message that can be ignored.
