YDL3 and iMac CDROM Drives

I'm curious as to how this group uses YDL to open and close the CDROM
Drive in Linux.

In mac, the keyboard performs this function.  However, in YDL, the Eject
Key is not recognized.

I've been using the following commandline,

eject /dev/CDROM
(I coded this as a button in my YDL panel)

But that only opens the drive.
(I could "shove" the drive back in, but that just spells future
mechanical failure)

I've also used the CD Player Eject button, but it will not open if there
is no CD in the tray.

Anyone else come up with a better workaround?
