I use:
`eject /dev/hd[a|b|c]` - sub in whatever letter your USB driver has
assigned to your ipod.
It probably won't work if you use "/dev/hda2" (which is the device file
for the *partition* on which your music resides). You'll need to
actually use the device, "/dev/hda". It usually takes a few seconds,
then the command returns and my iPod mini's screen goes back to normal
mode as it continues to charge.
All of this as root, of course...
Good luck,
Dave
