One probably can't call it exactly `supported', but
scsi -f /dev/rsdN.ctl -c "1b 0 0 0 2 0"
is supposed to work. It's a START STOP UNIT command, with the Start
bit being 0 (== `stop'), and the LoEj bit being 1 (== Eject).
Put it into a setuid perl script by now to make it a command more
convenient to use. Don't forget to set $ENV{PATH} on top, or suidperl
will refuse to run your system() command.
