Hi there,

I'm trying to script disktool to unmount (not eject) an audio cd. The problem being, the names of audio cds always change thanks to iTunes getting the CDDB info (which I still need to happen), and the device number always changes because I've got a few external drives.

I was thinking that the best way to work out the device number would be by using mount to work out which drive was read only, then taking that and piping the number into disktool to unmount.

Only problem is, I have no idea how to do it

Any help much appreciated!

something like this, perhaps:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# a shell script to unmount the read-only, non-disk image CD
mount | grep read-only | grep -v "mounted by" | awk '{print$1}' | umount
# mount gets the mounted drives, the second and third steps get the audio CD isolated
# the awk gets the device, and passes it to umount.

EDIT: oops, forgot this was about disktool. Don't know a thing about that. Sorry... oh, and if you use this script, note that disk images don't take kindly to being unmounted this way, so be sure that you're actually using an Audio CD, and not a disk image of one.
