Hi All, I have a system where the cd drive insists on keeping the drawer open. I will close the drawer manually by pushing the button that closes it. Within seconds the door will open again. What would cause this? Thanks

Thanks for the hint. This is a production server so I will try this the next time it is taken offline for service.
While I'm sure it's not the cause... I used to SSH into my wife's machine when she was living in a dorm and eject her cd. Scared the bejeezus out of her. She started to suspect me, so I used the at command to make it eject while I was there one day. -Marc On 7/10/06, mlong@datalong.com <mlong@datalong.com> wrote:

Oh! Well, it's probably running hot, then, and sticking out it's tongue to pant and cool off. HTH! NC, -- Rich
