The person who ejected the media manually may not be logged in. There is no way to know who did that - especially when some environments put the host in one room, and all displays/audio signals in another.

ONLY if the media is fully extracted... Partially removed media could destroy the heads (especially floppys - did that once...) Moving heads can make it difficult to insert the media too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse I Pollard, II Email: pollard@navo.hpc.mil
