Is there something that can be run from the command line to disconnect a usb
device? Instead of having to click on the icon in the taskbar, then select
which one you want to disconnect.

Thanks for any info,
Regards,
Dan.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to do it for a specific device? So I
don't get that dialog?

Cheers,
Dan.
 
Probably, but I don't know the syntax to call & unplug the specific
device. Once dismounted you can unplug the removable drive so there may
be another command that you could use instead.
