NOTE: THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT ALLOWED ME TO LEARN A LOT OF THINGS, SINCE I AM CURRENTLY STILL A BEGINNER, THOUGH IT COULD NOT EVOLVE INTO ANYTHING BUT A SIMPLE WRAPPER AROUND eject AND udisksctl COMMAND. I THINK IT IS BETTER DONE WITH SOME BASH OR ANY OTHER SCRIPT. THUS, I AM FINALLY ARCHIVING THIS PROJECT.

Overview

ehdd can be used for ejecting and shutdowning an ejectable storage device on a Linux system. The program makes use of the eject and udisksctl command, hence working as a wrapper around them, and in the way making it easier to perform each command.

Installation and Uninstallation

Read INSTALL.md for installation and uninstallation help.

Dependencies

Here are all the program dependencies:-

  1. eject command
  2. udiskctl command (most Linuxes will have package udisks2 for this)
  3. 'root access' (running the command as sudo ehdd ...)

In addition to these, if you're going to install the program using Method-2 (by compilation), you're going to need these programs installed as well:-

  1. gcc

Usage

ehdd can be used for ejecting and shutdowning an ejectable storage device on a Linux system. Please read HELP.md for more information.
