I use: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
`eject /dev/hd[a|b|c]` - sub in whatever letter your USB driver has |
| 15 |
assigned to your ipod. |

It probably won't work if you use "/dev/hda2" (which is the device file |
| 18 |
for the *partition* on which your music resides). You'll need to |
| 19 |
actually use the device, "/dev/hda". It usually takes a few seconds, |
| 20 |
then the command returns and my iPod mini's screen goes back to normal |
| 21 |
mode as it continues to charge. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
All of this as root, of course... |

Good luck, |
