I myself have wondered this . It shouldn't be that hard to get
'eject' to ignore 'no cd...' message & continue . But my concern
'Being so lazy its a sin' is I Would like to see a 'closetray'
command . Mainly because I may have a -clueless- one at the
remote site & all I want them to do is put the cd in the tray &
leave . Having heard of -all those- tech-support horror stories
I would even not want someone other than a tech I am familiar
with to do other than that request . But, Times being what they
are co-facilities are hiring low cost help which means trainable
but not always clued . Tnx for the ear . JimL
