[opensuse] CD question

Hi all,

Sometimes I have a CD/DVD go bad etc and it will not come out of the CD
reader. As root I try the eject command and it will not work saying that the
CD is busy. So far I've ended up rebooting to get the !"§$ CD out. Is there a
way to force the eject command to work without rebooting?

Thanks,

JIM
