eject

eject is a Wine command. It is used to free, unlock, and eject an optical device when Wine is using it.

Note: in order to eject, the drive must be correctly set up in winecfg and must be invoked with wine preceding it.

Usage

wine eject [-u] [-a] [-h] [x:]...
   -a  Eject all the CD drives we find
   -h  Display this help message
   -u  Unmount only, don't eject the CD
   x:  Eject drive x:

Useful when trying to use multidisk installers:

1. wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe (or whatever it's called)

2. When the installer prompts for the 2nd disc, go to another terminal and run wine eject if just pressing the eject button doesn't let go of the disc

Alternate suggestions to run wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe don't always work because wine uses a different method of accessing the contents of the CD in that case that doesn't survive a CD change untouched. Case in point is the Game "NEXUS - The Jupiter Incident".
