I was only asking John to confirm the "-i" flag. Since I was unable to find such a flag mentioned in the man page, there was an outside chance it might have been a typo. For some reason, I've never had anything that refused to "eject".. so I was not going to hunt down all past, current, and future versions of the eject program and check their manuals, changes, documentation bugs, etc. When I saw all the replies, before I looked at their contents, I said to myself, now how could three innocent characters have elicited such quick and fairly voluminous response - hence my :-/ skepticism¹.
