I was needing to know if there's a CD in a drive so that I could attempt to mount it if something was in there. The scsi utility I was using on OpenBSD would query the drive at a low level, and would report back if it found media in the drive. For now, I will just attempt to run "mount /dev/cdrom" -- its exit value tells me if it was successful in mounting a CD, and that seems to work just fine. The automount service wasn't working for me, and I don't have the time to fiddle with it to figure out why not.
You could build a cron job which runs every 5 seconds and attempts a mount. :-) More seriously, you should find out what is wrong. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
