.."eject -V " should return:"
eject version 2.1.5 by Jeff Tranter (tranter@???)" and
your cli prompt, if it doesn't, "aptitude install eject "
and try again.
.."eject -vn " to see if you have anything ejectable,
"eject --help" and "info eject " or "man eject " for
details on usage.
..we sometimes need to combine them: "umount -v $CD &&eject \
-v $CD >logfile " whenever I care about throwing error messages
into debug logs, and "umount -v $CD ;eject -v $CD " when I just
want the darn thing out of my drive or usb hole. ;o)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
