Shell script that would check if the CD-rom is readable
Hi,
I was wondering if there's a command in Linux that would check to see if a CD is inserted into CD-rom. I am developing a shell script that would copy a file from CD rom. For this, I have to first verify if the CD has been inserted or not. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Sundeep |

This would depend on the distribution of linux really, but it's largely going to be down to your automounter. If you are using one, then just use something like: Code:
if mount | grep cdrom > /dev/null ... . If not, then you'll need to test the device - easiest way would be to mount it IMO, something like: Code:
if mount /mnt/cdrom ... You might need to first check if it's already mounted, and possibly include a step to unmount it again if you need it unmounted. |
