'eject' Program

  This user program can be used to ``unmount'' a volume previously mounted by automountd. The syntax is:
eject volume_name [volume_name ...]
where volume_name has to be the same as the name given in the configuration file. Supplying no argument is identical to 'all'.

Due to the design of the daemon, errors are not reported. Implementing this is not impossible, but would impose a pause of up to Intervall seconds, because unmount requests are also handled synchroniously gif. Maybe this will be an additional option (at compile time) in the future.
