So a symlink will not hold over a reboot. I think you'd need to make some change in udev itself to do what you want. > > $ eject > eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' > $ Do you have more than one optical drive on the machine? I have 3 optical drives on one machine (cdrom, cdrom1, and cdrom2), and if I specify which one to open the tray on with eject, I can open any of them. eject (which as default opens the tray on cdrom) eject cdrom (same as above) eject cdrom1 eject cdrom2 I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but have a look at the man page for eject. > > What can I do to make this solution permanent, i.e., not destroyed by a > reboot? > > Thanks in advance, > > Paul All the best.
