I learned about a new command line command today for Mac OS X. The command is drutil, which is used to interact with various CD/DVD drives on a Mac OS X box. My favorite, of course, is drutil tray open and drutil tray closed, which opens or closes the CD drive tray on a Mac with a tray loading drive.

The fun part of this is when you combine this command with the power of Apple’s Remote Desktop, you can do fun things like what are depicted in this movie.
