The non-intuitive way to eject disc

This just proves how little I know about the system I use. In the past, I looked for such commands, but failed googling it, until yesterday I just happened to find it. With these commands I can list mounted drive, and eject it from Terminal application. This generally useful when you use mac mini with non apple standard keyboard, which has no eject button. But personally the main reason was to eject disc when I remotely access any mac system using SSH.

Here is a list of useful commands that I copied into my notebook:

drutil list
drutil info
drutil tray open
drutil tray close
drutil tray eject
disktool -e disk2
