I put in a cd, waited till automount found it, did a ls on /cdrom and got the directory structure. I then put the paperclip in the hole - /cdrom still listed the information. I then did a eject cdrom and it was reset as far as knowing that the cd was no longer there. But this is awful hard on your cdrom drive and cd!

EJECT(1) BSD General Commands Manual EJECT(1)
NAME
eject -- eject a floppy disk, cdrom or tape
SYNOPSIS
eject [-fv] [-l | -L | -U] [-t device-type] [-d] device
eject -n
DESCRIPTION
The eject program ejects a medium from the specified device. It can also load a cdrom in the drive if this operation is supported by the
hardware. The device argument specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a /dev/ prefix), or by one of the built-in
nicknames. If the medium contains a file system that is currently mounted, eject will attempt to unmount the file system before ejecting.
The following options are available:
-d Deprecated.
-f Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any file systems first.
-l Load media in the drive (only supported for the cdrom device type).
-L Lock the media into the drive (but see BUGS below).
-n List the built-in nicknames on standard output.
-t device-type
Specify the device type. The argument must be one of diskette, floppy, cdrom, disk, or tape. This option is necessary when ejecting a
device for which no built-in knowledge is available.
-U Unlock the media from the drive.
-v Display some of the actions taken on standard output.
BUGS
Most disk drivers automatically lock the media on the first open and unlock it on the last close, making 'eject -L' almost useless, since
when it closes the device, it gets unlocked again.
