Is there a way to eject all the mounted hard drive volumes on an OS X computer from the command line? Applescript is OK if I can wrap that in a shell script.

In Terminal try:
umount -a(All the filesystems described via getfsent(3) are unmounted.)umount -A(All the currently mounted filesystems except the root unmounted.)Fore more information see
man umount.Update:
Seems like you can also use this:
Didn’t test it, though. If it doesn’t work, try to use “unmount” instead of “unmountDisk”.
Oh, I also found the
ejectargument (instead ofunmountDisk). That might also be of interest.Update 2:
diskutil eject /dev/*seems what you are looking for (see comments).
