EJECT(1)                                                              EJECT(1)


NAME
     eject - eject a removable media device

SYNOPSIS
     eject [ [ controller_id ] scsi_id [ lun ] | device  | dir ]

DESCRIPTION
     eject ejects a removable mediad device.  If the device has mounted
     filesystems, eject will first try to unmount them.

     Without any options, eject will act upon the first device it finds in the
     hardware inventory table.

OPTIONS
     device
          Specify the device to eject.  The device may be specified using any
          of the names described in the mediad(1m) man page.  Note that some
          devices do not support software eject.

     dir  If mediad is running, the mount point of the filesystem on the disk
          to be ejected can be specified.

     [controller_id] scsi_id
          If mediad is running, the controller id and the scsi id of the
          device to be ejected can be specified.  If the controller id is left
          out, it will default to 0.

FILES
     /dev/rdsk/fd*  floppy devices
     /dev/scsi/*    generic SCSI devices (for CD-ROM drives)
     /dev/tape      shorthand for the tape device on the system
     /dev/rmt/*     real name for all tape devices on the system
     /etc/fsd.tab   table of devices monitored by mediad

ERRORS
     An error will occur if the specified device does not have a disk in it,
     or if the file system on the disk couldn't be unmounted.

EXAMPLES
     eject /dev/scsi/sc0d6l0       eject CD-ROM disk (controller 0 SCSI id 6)
     eject /dev/rdsk/fds0d2.3.5    eject floppy disk (controller 0 SCSI id 2)
     eject 0 2                     eject floppy disk (controller 0 SCSI id 2)
     eject 2                       eject floppy disk (controller 0 SCSI id 2)

DIAGNOSTICS
     The exit codes for eject have the following meanings:
         0 : success
         1 : Incorrect usage.  Check the eject man page.


         2 : The drive is busy.  Make sure no programs are using the drive.
         3 : Unable to eject.  Try hardware eject.
         4 : There is no media in the drive.  Make sure you are specifying the
         right drive.
         5 : Software eject not supported.  Use hardware eject.
         6 : No such device.  Check your scsi id, fsname, or dir.
         7 : A system error has occurred.  See /var/adm/SYSLOG for more info.
