didn't test it that way, but did think of that while typing at one point.
willing to give you odds that you are correct.
just strip out some of the logic in it and just make sure the echos for the script that is masked work prior to masking.
it's all irrelevant (but might be helpful to new users)

RE: PCMCIA
After the core driver is loaded, the device will appear in the output of lspsi/elspci and the correct module loaded like for a pci device (the modules [most of them, at least] are listed in modules.pcimap).

Alienjeff,
Sage, when I unmount a (mounted) CD, it ejects. Other than that, I have to push the eject button on the drive to eject it. Is it like that for you?

That's not my problem. 'modules.pcimap' lists the PCI-to-PCMCIA interface modules, such as yenta-socket, but not the modules for a particular card, like the 'xirc2ps_cs' required by my PCMCIA network card. 'elspci' will not help either.
The old 'cardmgr' package has a database that determines what module to load for a particular card. The new 'pcmciautils' does not have that mechanism/database, or at least not that I can see.

I just verified with Pmount, unmounted a CD, it automatically ejected, as per normal.

I think everyone misunderstood Sage.
I believe he is after a button to eject the CD without mounting and then unmounting it.
Rest of the JWM Config Wizard is on the way. I've got it all working, just have to write up a post later tonight and post it.

Invalid IF statement in rc.network script Subject description: Multiple NICs cause script to bypass "sleep 3" - old bug |
|
Line 49 of /etc/rc.d/rc.network is an IF statement that tests for file existence. But "-f /etc/eth[0-9]mode" is invalid because it expands internally to "-f /etc/eth0mode /etc/eth1mode", whereas the "-f" primary accepts only a single file name. The message "/etc/rc.d/rc.network: line 49: binary operator expected" (for two NICs) or ". . . [: too many arguments" (for three NICs) is generated and the conditional "sleep 3" does not occur. The message appears in /tmp/bootsysinit.log.
The following substitute statement works with multiple NIC eth?mode files (and should also with "*wireless"): Code: | if [ "`ls /etc | grep 'eth[0-9]mode\|ethernetmodules\|*wireless'`" != "" ];then |

Is that a toaster you're poking with a paper clip, AJ?! All my paper clips are worn out - can you send a couple, please.
JD almost got it right. There is no 'EJECT' provided with Pmount. Never had any auto-ejects with the thousands of drives that passed this way.
Come on Jesse! let's have your MUT port and we can all sleep soundly again.....

The gimageview .pet in the repository has an & in gimageview.desktop, which causes an error if you do
It doesn't actually seem to cause any problems, but it can be fixed by using &

I almost started a poll to ask who has or doesn't have one of those bent paper clips next to them.
SHit my empty 4230-01-101-3984 has one of this in it. Much better than worrying about smokes.

I miss mut also. First thing I used to do when hitting the 'desktop' was change that icon to mut.

I was not referring to yenta-socket etc., but to the drivers for the actual devices: most of them are listed in modules.pcimap. I went over it a month or so ago and there were only a few that weren't.
