[SOLVED] eject -T not working?

[oshunluvr]

I use this command is several scripts when I process DVDs or CDs in a group, but now it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else add anything to this

eject -T /dev/sr0

the resulting error is

[FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]ioctl: Input/output error[/COLOR]
[/FONT]

My cd tray gets the same error using -T but opens with the eject cdrom command. Mine has to be closed manually, though.


And testing again, using eject -vT /dev/sr0

$ eject -Tv /dev/sr0
eject: device name is `/dev/sr0'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/sr0'
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: toggling tray
ioctl: Input/output error

And with eject -v cdrom

$ eject -v cdrom
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr0'
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded

Yeah, weird. eject cdrom ejects it, but I have to use eject -t /dev/sr0 to close it?

OK FIGURED IT OUT - Thanks for the hint Clay.

It appears "eject -T sr0" works fine. it just didn't like the /dev/ part for some reason.

weird.
Not unusual, of course. Just weird.
