Lock the hardware eject button of the cdrom

$ eject -i 1

This command will lock the hardware eject button of your cdrom drive.
Some uses are:

1: If you have a toddler and has discovered the cdrom button

2: If you are carrying a laptop in a bag or case and don't want it to
eject if the button is inadvertently pressed.

To unlock the button use:

$ eject -i 0

For more info see the "eject" man page.


Ex:

sat...@ubuntu:~$ eject -i 1
CD-Drive may NOT be ejected with device button
sat...@ubuntu:~$ eject ( see the reaction )
sat...@ubuntu:~$ eject -i 0
CD-Drive may be ejected with device button
sat...@ubuntu:~$ eject ( now see the reaction )
