cdrom eject - by software?

2003-07-26 Thread Lorin Lund
I have a new hand-me-down PC for my FreeBSD box.  After I installed from 
CD (v 4.8)
I discovered that the eject button does not work on this cd-rom drive.

Is there any program that will cause the CD to eject?

Here's how I do it. There's no need for special ports like sysutils/eject.

-$ cat ~/bin/ejectcd.sh 
/usr/local/bin/sudo /sbin/umount -v /cdrom
/usr/sbin/cdcontrol -v -f /dev/acd0 Eject

This may be a dumb question, but did you remember to umount before 
hitting the eject button?
