Eject Command

I'm connecting my Mirror Door Mac to a Belkin KVM switcher. The switcher only allows me to control a Mac with a PS2 keyboard, hence I'm not able to Eject CD's. On our IRIX machine in the office I can eject a CD using a command called "eject" The eject command isn't part of OSX. I need to set up a similar unix command or apple script to do the same procedure as well as adjust the volume. Any thoughts?

I think there was a keyboard shortcut for those without Mac keyboards. I think it may have been Ctrl-F12 or something like that. Can anyone remember what it was?
 
OS X includes a menu extra for opening the CD tray. In the Finder, go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ and drag the folder named Eject.menu to the right side of the menu bar.

For volume, I would also recommend using the menu extra. You can get this one on the menu bar by opening the Sound System Preference and checking the box at the bottom to show the volume in the menu bar.
