Can you open you CD drive from Terminal. I found ways to eject media but I want to open the drive when nothing is in it.(emac) I really am just wondering if it can be done. Also can you have terminal display a text bubble/alert on the screen?
You can use Applscript from the Terminal to display a dialog. You cannot call display dialog directly, but you can have the Finder do it for you: osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to display dialog "Your message here"'
