How to Eject a Digital Video Disc (DVD)
With Software Commands

Before You Begin

Note –

You should warn users before abruptly halting processes. The command

Refer to the Solaris System Administrator’s Guide for more information about the

fuser

command.

If the server is set up without a local console, you need to set up a console on it in
order to issue software commands; see:

“About Communicating With the System” on page 33

What to Do

DVD drive, become superuser and type the following:

% su

Password:

# fuser -k /cdrom/cdrom0
