Of course, this is overkill.

Folks, you only need eject, not eject /dev/cdrom

And if you have a machine that has dual CDRoms, or
a CDRom and CDRW or such, try this:

eject &
mount /dev/cdrom &
eject /dev/cdrom1 &
mount /dev/cdrom1 &
eject &
mount /dev/cdrom &
eject /dev/cdrom1 &
mount /dev/cdrom1 &

That SHOULD get them popping in and out in sequence...
but it's just tomfoolery.  But these tricks have been
around a LONG time...

Me, too.  But how do you close the CD-ROM?
