Well, you just might do a " ps aux | grep /dev/cdrom " to see if any processes in the background are hogging your drive. If so, just kill them using "kill -9 ". Make sure the process isn't one within X, otherwise you might bring down the X Server! :) HTH = -- Viksit Gaur http://www.viksit.com me[at]viksit.com viksit[at]linux-delhi[dot]org 'Not all who wander are lost.' - J.R.R.

Re: [ilugd] Bash Shell Scripting...
this error is displayed if you try to unmount cd/floppy while working in the directory in which cd/floppy is mounted. so, to avoid the error, try unmounting the device from outside the mounted device's folder .. also make sure that you are not cd'ed in that folder from another terminal. hth -!sh On Wed, 12 May 2004, Mayank Jain wrote: > Hi guys, > pls help me out on this one... > > I'm making an automated shell script installer for Oracle9i.

Also as Dhruv said, do a cd / before umount. Btw, how are you making an automated Oracle installer ? IIRC, you have to make selections during the install process. Is there a way to do an unattended install ? Please do let me know. -- / \__ (@\___Raj Shekhar / O My home : http://geocities.com/lunatech3007/ / (_/My blog : http://lunatech.journalspace.com/ /_/ U ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
