wmcdrom-0.1
wmcdrom is a dock application for WindowMaker. When launched wmcdrom creates a 48 x 48 pixel showing a CD ROM (centered in a 64 x 64 pixel tile). To dock wmcdrom, left-click on the border of the tile and drag the tile to the dock area.
By clicking the CD ROM image you can mount and unmount CD ROM media.
- Left-clicking the CD ROM image will mount or unmount the media.
- Right-clicking the CD ROM image will mount or eject the media.
When a media is mounted, the CD ROM image will change to:
Syntax
wmcdrom [-e ejectcmd] [-m mountcmd] [-u umountcmd] devicefile
- -e ejectcmd: command to call to eject the media (defaults to /bin/eject).
- -m mountcmd: command to call to mount the media (defaults to /bin/mount).

- devicefile: special file of this CD ROM. The special file can be, but not limited to: /dev/cdrom, /dev/hdc, /dev/cdrecorder ...
