nix tray CD Tray Opener

Hi all. I’ve been around this forum for a little while now. It seems there’s an available program to open the CD tray on Windows, but it doesn’t seem to work on other operating systems. On both Linux and Mac machines, using the “eject” command opens the tray just fine. Here is a basic script I put together that functions on Linux and ought to work across all Unix-based OSes: Code: Select all

if [ $# -ne 2 ];
then
echo "Input two integers: minutes and seconds of countdown time"
exit
elif [ $1 -lt 0 -o $2 -lt 0 ];
then
echo "Invalid integer value"
else
MIN=$1
SEC=$2
while [ $MIN -ge 0 ]; do
while [ $SEC -ge 0 ];do
echo Countdown $MIN minutes and $SEC seconds
let SEC=SEC-1
sleep 1
done
let MIN=MIN-1
let SEC=59
done
eject
fi

You can test the eject command beforehand, or modify it to whatever suits your setup. Essentially, just copy this into a text file, then chmod +x the file in the command line so you can run it as a script. Finally, type the file path (beginning with a forward slash) to execute it.
